Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the ABS & TRACTION actuator assy, perform zero point calibration (see CALIBRATION  ).
  1. INSPECT STOP LIGHT OPERATION 
    1. Check that the stop light comes on when the brake pedal is depressed and goes off when the brake pedal is released.

    OK: 

    PEDAL CONDITION AND ILLUMINATION CONDITION

    Pedal Condition Illumination Condition
    Brake pedal depressed ON
    Brake pedal released OFF
    1. NG: CHECK STOP LIGHT CIRCUIT (SEE  DTC C1249/49 OPEN CIRCUIT IN STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT   ) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  2. READ VALUE OF HAND HELD TESTER (MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the hand held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Select "DATA LIST" on the hand held tester.

      DATA LIST: ABS/VSC 

      DATA LIST - ABS/VSC

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition
      MAS CYL PRS1 Master cylinder pressure sensor 1 reading/min.: 0 V, max.: 5 V When brake pedal is released: 0.3 to 0.9 V
    4. Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor observed on the hand held tester changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

      OK: 

      When the pedal is depressed, voltage displayed on the hand held tester increases. 

    1. NG: REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (SEE  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  3. READ VALUE OF HAND HELD TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the hand held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Select "DATA LIST" on the hand held tester.

      DATA LIST: ABS/VSC 

      DATA LIST - ABS/VSC

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition
      STOP LIGHT SW Stop light switch/ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed
      STOP LIGHT SW Stop light switch/ON or OFF OFF: Brake pedal released
    4. Check that the stop light observed on the hand held tester changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

      OK: 

      When the brake pedal is depressed, the hand held tester displays "ON". 

    1. NG: REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (SEE  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  4. RECONFIRM DTC (SEE  DTC CHECK/CLEAR   ) 
    1. Clear the DTC.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. At a speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) or more, drive the vehicle and perform braking test (decelerate the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal).
    4. Check that the same DTC is recorded.

    Result: 

    RESULT

    DTC is not output A
    DTC is output B
    1. B: REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (SEE  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. A: END 

    HINT:

    It is suspected that the DTCs were output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
