RECONFIRM DTC

DTC C1246/46 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction

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

DESCRIPTION

Master cylinder pressure sensor is connected to the skid control ECU in 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 C1246/46  Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction. BRAKE CONTROL. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

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 brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration .
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
NG
INSPECT STOP LIGHT CIRCUIT
OK
2.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR)

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Start the engine.

Select the Data List mode on the intelligent tester.

ABS / VSC:
Item (Display)Measurement Item / Range (Display)Normal Condition
Master Cylinder SensorMaster cylinder pressure sensor 1 reading / min.: 0 V, max.: 5 VWhen brake pedal is released: 0.3 to 0.5 V

Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor observed on the intelligent tester changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

  • OK:
  • When the pedal is depressed, voltage displayed on the intelligent tester increases.
NG
REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK
3.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)

Select the Data List mode on the intelligent tester.

ABS / VSC:
Item (Display)Measurement Item / Range (Display)Normal Condition
Stop Lamp SWStop light switch / ON or OFFON: Brake pedal depressed
OFF: Brake pedal released

Check that the stop light display on the intelligent tester changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

  • OK:
  • When the brake pedal is depressed, the intelligent tester displays "ON".
NG
REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK
4.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 .
