Problem Symptoms Table

If there are no DTCs but 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 information.

NOTE:

When replacing the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU), sensor, etc., make sure that the power switch is turned off, the stop light switch is off, and 2 minutes have elapsed since the driver's door was closed.
