B
GO TO DTC (C120F). Refer to DTC C120F: Open in Master Reservoir Level Switch Circuit [01/2019 - 09/2022]
Result:
A
See step 2
- Clear the DTCs.
- CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
- Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.
HINT:
If the fluid level is low, check for fluid leaks, and repair as necessary.
- Check for brake fluid leaks (connection between the brake booster pump assembly, brake master cylinder reservoir assembly (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), brake booster with master cylinder assembly, and wheel cylinders).
HINT:
If no leaks exist, add and adjust fluid using the Techstream.
- Check the thickness of the brake pad lining.
for Front Brake: Refer to INSPECTION [01/2019 - 09/2022]
for Rear Brake: Refer to INSPECTION [06/2018 - 09/2022]
HINT:
If the thickness is less than the standard, replace the brake pads with new ones.
- Check for brake fluid leaks (connection between the brake booster pump assembly, brake master cylinder reservoir assembly (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), brake booster with master cylinder assembly, and wheel cylinders).
- Check that there are no leaks from the connections between the brake booster pump assembly and brake booster with master cylinder assembly.
HINT:
As a visual check is very difficult, perform the check with the following procedure.
- Bleed the air from the brake system.
Refer to BLEEDING [01/2019 - 09/2022]
- Turn the power switch off.
- Disconnect the A9 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
- Select the Data List on the Techstream.
Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [01/2019 - 09/2022]
Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note MT Voltage Value MT voltage value Min.: 0.00 V, Max.: 20.00 V Pump motor off: 0.00 V
Pump motor on: 12.00 V- Accumulator Pressure Accumulator pressure output value Min.: 0.00 MPa, Max.: 24.48 MPa 15.00 to 21.00 MPa
(Pressure stable and pump motor stopped)When brake fluid is stored in the accumulator: Accumulator pressure changes in accordance with volume of fluid stored in the accumulator Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Data List
Tester Display MT Voltage Value Accumulator Pressure - Depress the brake pedal several times to operate the pump motor, then wait until it stops.
- After the pump motor stops, wait for 30 seconds, then check the drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value and the state of the pump motor.
Result
Result Proceed to The drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value is less than 2.50 MPa 30 seconds after the pump motor stops, and the pump motor does not operate within 30 seconds after the pump motor stops. A The drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value is 2.50 MPa or more 30 seconds after the pump motor stops, or the pump motor operates within 30 seconds after the pump motor stops. B - Bleed the air from the brake system.
Result:
B
CHECK AND REPAIR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS OR ADD FLUID
Result:
A
See step 3
- Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.
- INSPECT BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH)
- Turn the power switch off.
*a Component without harness connected
(Brake Fluid Level Warning Switch (Brake Booster with Master Cylinder Assembly)) - Reconnect the A9 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
- Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.
- Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
OK
The connector is securely connected.
- Disconnect the A52 brake fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder 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.
HINT:
A float is located inside the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly (brake booster with master cylinder assembly). Its position changes according to the level of brake fluid.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2 (LBL) - 1 (GND) Brake fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) off (float up) 1.84 to 2.16 kΩ 2 (LBL) - 1 (GND) Brake fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) on (float down) Below 1 Ω
(Brake fluid level is low) - If there are no problems after completing the preceding inspection, adjust the brake fluid to the MAX level with the power switch on (IG).
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2019 - 09/2022]
