Problem Symptoms Table

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Matrix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If there are no DTCs output and the problem still occurs, check the circuits for each problem symptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting service information.

NOTE:

When replacing the brake actuator assembly, sensors, etc., turn the ignition switch off.
