Brake Warning Light Remains ON [09/2022 - ]: Procedure
- PRE-CHECK
- Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake system warning light (red indicator) to turn off are met:
- The ABS warning light is not illuminated.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light remains illuminated, make sure that the conditions required for the ABS warning light to turn off are met.
Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [09/2022 - 11/2022] , or refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [11/2022 - ]
- The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly is not low.
- Ensure that the brake booster has sufficient vacuum.
HINT:
When the vacuum inside the brake booster decreases, the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on.
Result
Proceed to NEXT - The ABS warning light is not illuminated.
Result:
NEXT
See step 2
- Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake system warning light (red indicator) to turn off are met:
- INSPECT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY
- With a sufficient level of brake fluid, disconnect the A67 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector and confirm that the brake system warning light (red indicator) illuminates.
OK
The brake system warning light (red indicator) does not turn off.
HINT:
If the brake system warning light (red indicator) turns off, there is a short in the brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) circuit.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY
Refer to DISASSEMBLY [06/2018 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 3
- With a sufficient level of brake fluid, disconnect the A67 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector and confirm that the brake system warning light (red indicator) illuminates.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY)
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.
OK
The connector is securely connected.
- Disconnect the I4 combination meter assembly connector.
- Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK
No deformation or corrosion.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition I4-11 (SW) - A67-1 (+) Always Below 1 Ω I4-11 (SW) or A67-1 (+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A67-2 (E) - Body ground 1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 4
- INSPECT VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Inspect the vacuum warning switch assembly.
Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [09/2022 - ]
OK
The vacuum warning switch assembly is normal.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - 11/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [11/2022 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 5
- Inspect the vacuum warning switch assembly.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the A65 vacuum warning switch assembly connector.
- Disconnect the I4 combination meter assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition I4-27 (VCM) - A65-2 (+) Always Below 1 Ω I4-27 (VCM) or A65-2 (+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A65-1 (E) - Body ground 1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 6
- INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- Reconnect the I4 combination meter assembly connector.
- Reconnect the A67 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
- Perform the Active Test of the combination meter assembly using the GTS.
Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test
Tester Display Multi Display All (White) - Check the combination meter assembly.
OK
The multi-information display turns on or off in accordance with GTS operation.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
