Possible Causes

  1. CB1: CHECK FOR OTHER ABS MODULE DTCS 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Carry out the ABS self-test.
    • Carry out the PCM KOEO self-test.
    • Is DTC C101A:15, C101A:16, C101A:1C or C101A:29 present? 
      Yes No
      Go to PINPOINT TEST CA . Go to  CB2.
  2. CB2: CHECK THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND VACUUM COMPONENTS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Inspect the following components for signs of obvious damage:
      • Vacuum tube grommet
      • Vacuum sensor grommet
      • Brake master cylinder seal
      • Vacuum hoses and tubes
      • Brake booster
      • Front hublock IWE vacuum hose connection
    • Are the components listed free from any damage? 
      Yes No
      Go to  CB3. INSTALL new components as necessary. Go to  CB3.
  3. CB3: TEST THE BRAKE BOOSTER 
  4. CB4: VERIFY ABS MODULE VACUUM/PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL 1 (VAC_PRS_S1) PID 
    NOTE: Running the engine with the vacuum sensor removed from the brake booster sets DTCs in the ABS module. Clear all DTCs once the repair is complete.
    • Start the engine and allow to idle for at least 20 seconds.
    • Access the ABS and monitor the VAC_PRS_S1 (PRESS) PID.
    • Note the PID display.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Remove the vacuum sensor from the brake booster.
      • Leave the electrical connector connected.
    • Connect a vacuum gauge to the vacuum sensor port.
    • Start the engine and allow to idle for at least 20 seconds.
    • Read and record the vacuum gauge display.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect the vacuum gauge from the brake booster and install the vacuum sensor.
    • Does the VAC_PRS_S1 PID display match the recorded vacuum gauge display ±10 kPa (3 inches Hg)? 
      Yes No
      The condition causing the concern is not present at this time. The concern may be temperature related.
      ALLOW the vehicle to remain outside overnight and RETEST the vacuum system.
      INSTALL a new Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor.
