DTC P0555-00: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor (running); DTC P05552A: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Signal Stuck In Range [11/2016 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Toyota Highlander, 2018 Toyota Highlander, and 2017 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine stop and start ECU determines changes in the brake booster assembly pressure based on the voltage signal received from the vacuum sensor assembly in the brake booster assembly.

If the output value of the vacuum sensor assembly remains the same even though the brake booster assembly pressure changes when the brake pedal is operated or the vehicle is being driven, the engine stop and start ECU judges that the sensor is stuck.

When sticking of the sensor is detected, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P055500 or P05552A and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator.
