Inspection procedure
NOTICE:
When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform zero point calibration .
HINT:
When C1241/41 is output together with C1202/58, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241/41 first.
1.CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL |
-
Turn the ignition switch off.
-
Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more (until the pedal reaction feels light and pedal stroke becomes longer).
-
Check the amount of fluid in the brake reservoir.
HINT:
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, brake fluid is sent to the accumulator and the fluid level decreases by approximately 10 mm (0.394 in.) from the level when the ignition switch is off (normal).
OK:
Brake fluid level is normal.

OK | |
2.INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH |
-
Disconnect the A26 brake fluid level warning switch connector.
-
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.
- The warning switch is switched on/off at +/-5 mm (+/-0.197 in.) from the MIN level.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 Float UP (Switch off) 1.9 to 2.1 k? 1 - 2 Float DOWN (Switch on) Below 1 ? HINT:
If there is no problem after finishing the above check, adjust the brake fluid level to the MAX level.
Result Result Proceed to OK A NG LHD B RHD C

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH - SKID CONTROL ECU) |
-
Disconnect the A24 skid control ECU connector and A26 brake fluid level warning switch connector.
-
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A24-41 (LBL) - A26-2 (LBL) Always Below 1 ? A24-41 (LBL) - Body ground Always 10 k? or higher A26-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 ?

OK | |
4.RECONFIRM DTC |
-
Clear the DTC .
-
Drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 32 km/h (20 mph) or more for 60 seconds or more.
-
Check if the same DTC is output .
HINT:
Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
Result Result Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC is output LHD B RHD C
