INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (Click here).

1. Check if the CAN communication system DTC is output (Click here for LHD, or Click here for RHD).
   
   

   Result:

   
   

   Condition	Proceed to
   DTC is not output	A
   DTC is output	B

1. Check if the multiplex communication system DTC is output (Click here).
   
   

   Result:

   
   

   Condition	Proceed to
   DTC is not output	A
   DTC is output	B

1. Check if the skid control ECU connector is securely connected.
   

   OK:

   The connector should be securely connected.
   

1. Check the battery voltage.
   

   Standard voltage:

   11 to 14 V
   

1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
   

2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
   

3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard voltage:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A14-46 (IG1) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	10 to 14 V

1. Turn the engine switch off.
   

2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A14-32 (GND1) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A14-1 (GND2) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

1. Disconnect the parking brake switch connector.
   

2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - Body ground	Parking brake switch ON (Switch pin free)	Below 1 Ω
   1 - Body ground	Parking brake switch OFF (Switch pin pushed in)	10 kΩ or higher

1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   
   

   Standard resistance:

   A/T:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A14-28 (PKB) - A25-1	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A14-28 (PKB) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

   M/T:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A14-28 (PKB) - J88-1	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A14-28 (PKB) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

1. Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
   

2. Disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
   

3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   HINT:

   A float is placed inside the reservoir. Its position can be changed by increasing/decreasing the level of brake fluid.

   Standard resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	Float up (Switch OFF)	1.9 to 2.1 kΩ
   1 - 2	Float down (Switch ON)	Below 1 Ω

   HINT:

   If there is no problem after finishing the above check, adjust the brake fluid level to the MAX level.

1. Disconnect the combination meter connector.
   

2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   J35-15 (SW) - A16-1 (+)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   J35-15 (SW) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   A16-2 (E) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

1. Perform Active Test of the combination meter (meter CPU) using the intelligent tester (Click here).
   

   OK:

   The BRAKE warning light turns on or off in accordance with the intelligent tester.
   

   HINT:

   1. Reinstall the connectors and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before checking the combination meter.
      
   2. If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing the part (Click here).
