DTC P0555-00: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor(running); DTC P0555-2A: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Signal Stuck In Range [10/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2023 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT 
    1. Read any other DTCs.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      P0555-00 or P0555-2A and other DTCs are output A
      P0555-00 or P0555-2A is output B

      HINT: 

      If any DTCs other than P0555-00 or P0555-2A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    Result: 

    GO TO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (BRAKE BOOST PRESSURE) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • Start the engine and warm it up.
    • Turn the ignition switch off. (*1)
    • Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine is stopped) (*2)
    • Depress the brake pedal 5 times and read the changes in the following pressure value. (*3)

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Brake Boost Pressure

      OK

      Tester Display Condition Normal Condition
      Brake Boost Pressure
      • Ignition switch ON
      • Brake pedal depressed 5 times
      Changes by 20 kPa (150 mmHg, 5.91 in. Hg) or higher
      NOTE:

      Because it is hard to cause variation in the internal pressure before and after depressing the brake pedal if the brake booster internal pressure is high before depressing the brake pedal, do not operate the brake pedal as much as possible between operations (*1) and (*3).

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT VACUUM HOSE (BRAKE BOOSTER HOSE) 
    1. Check the vacuum hose (brake booster hose) for cracks or clogging (visual check).

      HINT: 

      If the braking force is abnormal, inspect the brake booster assembly.

      OK

      No cracks or clogging in the vacuum hose (brake booster hose).

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE VACUUM HOSE 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. REPLACE VACUUM SENSOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the vacuum sensor assembly.

      HINT: 

      Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  5

  5. CLEAR DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs 

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  6

  6. CHECK DTC OUTPUT 

    Pre-procedure1

    • Start the engine and warm it up.
    • Drive the vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or more and stop the vehicle. Repeat this driving pattern 30 times to allow the brake booster vacuum to change.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Brake Boost Pressure
      WARNING:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    • Stop the vehicle.
    • Check that no DTCs are output.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output A
      P0555-00 or P0555-2A is output B

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    END 

    Result: 

    REPLACE ENGINE STOP AND START ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]
