DTC C1246/46 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction

DTC C1281/81 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Output Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

The master cylinder pressure sensor is built into the brake actuator assembly.


DTC C1281/81 can be deleted when the master cylinder pressure sensor sends a master cylinder pressure signal or the Test Mode ends. DTC C1281/81 is output only in the Test Mode.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
C1246/46When any of the following is detected:
At a vehicle speed of 4.3 mph (7 km/h) or more, when the PMC terminal voltage is over 0.86 V, it does not change by 0.005 V or more for 30 seconds.
Noise occurs in the PMC terminal 7 times or more within 5 seconds.
When the stop light switch is OFF, the PMC terminal voltage is more than 0.86 V or less than 0.3 V for 5 seconds or more.
With the IG1 terminal voltage between 9.5 and 17.2 V, the VCM terminal voltage is not between 4.4 and 5.6 V for 1.2 seconds or more.
When the VCM terminal voltage is between 4.4 and 5.6 V, the PCM terminal voltage is not between 0.14 and 4.85 V for 1.2 seconds or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

  • NOTICE:
  • When replacing the skid control ECU, perform zero point calibration and store system information .
1.CHECK STOP LIGHT OPERATION

Check that the stop light comes on when the brake pedal is depressed, and goes off when the brake pedal is released.

  • OK:
  • ConditionIllumination Condition
    Brake pedal depressedON
    Brake pedal releasedOFF

3.INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (STP TERMINAL)
Dtc C1246/46  Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction. BRAKE CONTROL. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

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

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    J77-10 (STP) - Body groundStop light switch ON (Brake pedal depressed)8 to 14 V
    J77-10 (STP) - Body groundStop light switch OFF (Brake pedal released)Below 1.5 V

Turn the engine switch off.

Disconnect the skid control ECU connector and the brake actuator connector.

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

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    J78-18 (VCM) - A13-20 (VCM)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J78-18 (VCM) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher
    J78-4 (PMC) - A13-17 (PMC)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J78-4 (PMC) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher
    J78-6 (E2) - A13-19 (E2)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J78-6 (E2) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher

Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    J78-18 (VCM) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)4.5 to 5.5 V

REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU
OK
7.INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (SENSOR OUTPUT)
Dtc C1246/46  Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction. BRAKE CONTROL. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Reconnect the brake actuator connector.

Remove either the right or left front brake cylinder bleeder plug.

Install the pressure gauge via the attachment, and bleed the gauge of air .

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

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionFluid Pressure MPa (kgf/cm2, psi)Specified Condition
    J78-4 (PMC) - Body ground0 (0, 0)0.37 to 0.63 V
    J78-4 (PMC) - Body ground5.88 (60, 853)1.57 to 1.83 V
    J78-4 (PMC) - Body ground11.8 (120, 1,707)2.77 to 3.03 V
NG
REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK
8.RECONFIRM DTC

Turn the engine switch off.

Clear the DTC .

Start the engine.

At a speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) or more, drive the vehicle and perform braking test (decelerate the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal).

Check if the same DTC is recorded .
