Inspection Procedure 7: Abnormality in brake operation.


caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be stored. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
  • When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor and the G and yaw rate sensor (Refer to and ).

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


Although the cause of the trouble cannot be clearly resolved since it depends on the running status and road surface condition, the malfunction of the hydraulic circuit may occur if any diagnosis code is not detected.

PROBABLE CAUSES



DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the diagnosis code.
Using M.U.T.-III, check the diagnosis code for the ASC system (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Carry out the diagnosis for the diagnosis code (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) check
Check that the brake tube is installed to the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) correctly (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Connect the brake tubes correctly, and repair or replace the external brake lines of the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 3. Brake operation check
Perform the following checks.

  • Brake pedal check (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check .)
  • Brake booster check (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Booster Operation Check .)
  • Check valve check (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Check Valve Operation Check .)

Q. Can any fault be found with the brake operation?
Check the brake-related parts, and repair if necessary. Then, go to Step 6.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Hydraulic unit check
Perform the following actuator tests. (Refer to .)

  • Item No.01: FL wheel ABS drive
  • Item No.02: FR wheel ABS drive
  • Item No.03: RL wheel ABS drive
  • Item No.04: RR wheel ABS drive
  • Item No.05: FL wheel TCL drive
  • Item No.06: FR wheel TCL drive
  • Item No.07: RL wheel TCL drive
  • Item No.08: RR wheel TCL drive

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Retest the system.

Q. Does the brake operate normally?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Retest the system.

Q. Does the brake operate normally?
This diagnosis is complete.
Return to Step 1.
