WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [01/2019 - 09/2022]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs 

    2. Turn the power switch off.
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    4. Check if the same DTC is output.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [01/2019 - 09/2022]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1202 is output. A
      DTC C120F is output with DTC C1202. B

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC (C120F). Refer to  DTC C120F: Open in Master Reservoir Level Switch Circuit [01/2019 - 09/2022] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL 
    1. Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.

      HINT: 

      If the fluid level is low, check for fluid leaks, and repair as necessary.

      1. 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.

        Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [01/2019 - 09/2022]

      2. 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.

    2. 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.

      1. Bleed the air from the brake system.

        Refer to BLEEDING [01/2019 - 09/2022]

      2. Turn the power switch off.
      3. Disconnect the A9 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
      4. Select the Data List on the Techstream.

        Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [01/2019 - 09/2022]

      5. Depress the brake pedal several times to operate the pump motor, then wait until it stops.
      6. 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

    Result: 

    CHECK AND REPAIR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS OR ADD FLUID 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH)
