Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).

HINT:

DTCs may be output if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).

  1. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the brake actuator connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the actuator.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 (BM2) - 31 (GND1) Below 10 Ω
      2 (BM1) - 31 (GND1) Below 10 Ω
      1 (BM2) - 2 (BM1) Below 1 Ω
      31 (GND1) - 32 (GND2) Below 1 Ω
      1 (BM2) - 33 (MTT) Approx. 10 Ω
      2 (BM1) - 33 (MTT) Approx. 10 Ω

    NG : REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the accumulator pressure sensor.
    2. Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times to operate the pump motor, and check the output value on the intelligent tester with the motor stopped (not braking).
