Brake Actuator: Installation

NOTE: While the battery is connected, even if the power switch is OFF, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore during servicing of the brake system components, do not operate the brake pedal or open/ close the doors while the battery is connected.
  1. INSTALL BRAKE ACTUATOR 
    NOTE: Do not remove the hole plug before installing a new brake actuator because the brake actuator is filled with brake fluid.

    HINT:

    If removing and installing the No. 3 brake actuator tube, check for a brake fluid leak from the No. 3 tube connection area by monitoring the accumulator pressure sensor output value from the brake actuator. Directly checking for a brake fluid leak from the No. 3 tube connection area is difficult.

    1. Turn the power switch OFF.
    2. Connect the Intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    4. Operate the Intelligent tester or Techstream according to the display and select "DATA LIST".

      Accumulator Pressure Sensor Accumulator pressure sensor/ min.. 0 V, max.: 5 V Specified value 2 6 to 3 8 V -
    5. Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times to operate the pump motor, and check the output value on the Intelligent tester or Techstream with the motor stopped (not braking).

      OK: Accumulator pressure sensor's output voltage drops 0.2 V or less for 30 seconds. 

      If the voltage drops more than 0.2 V, there may be a brake fluid leak from the No 3 brake actuator tube connection area. Remove the brake actuator and brake accumulator pump, and then repeat the procedures above from the retightening of the 2 union nuts of the No 3 brake actuator tube.
