Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION ).

HINT:

When C1251/51, C1253/53, or C1254/54 is output together with C1256/56, inspect and repair the trouble area indicated by C1251/51, C1253/53, or C1254/54 first.

  1. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Depress the brake pedal more than 20 times.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Wait for 99 seconds.
    6. Check if the same DTC is output (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE

    Result Proceed to
    DTC is output. A
    DTC is not output. B

    HINT:

    Excessive brake pedal operation results in abnormal accumulator pressure consumption. This is normal.

    B: USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT 
    1. Check the hydraulic circuit (See SYSTEM DIAGRAM ).

    OK: Hydraulic circuit is normal (No leakage). 

    NG: REPAIR HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT  (See SYSTEM DIAGRAM )

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ACCUMULATOR SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
    3. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.

      ABS/VSC/TRAC 

      DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Accumulator Sensor Accumulator pressure sensor reading/min.: 0 V, max.: 5 V 3.58 to 5 V If the value is constant regardless of the pump operation, an accumulator pressure sensor malfunction is suspected.
    4. Check that the accumulator output value is normal.

      OK: Accumulator pressure sensor value is normal. 

      NG: REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID  (See DISASSEMBLY )

      OK: Go to next step 

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
    2. Check if the same DTC is output (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).

    DTC is not output. B

    B: USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
