Inspection Procedure 7: When the brake auto hold switch is operated, the indicator lamp on the switch is not switched.




OPERATION


The electric parking brake ECU provides the ASC-ECU with the brake auto hold switch ON/OFF information. The electric parking brake ECU activates or deactivates the brake auto hold switch indicator lamp according to the request sent by the ASC-ECU.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


This trouble symptom assumes that M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis result is OK and no diagnosis code is et.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list


Check the following data list (Refer to ).

  • Item No.7: Auto hold switch

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the resistance at the electric parking brake ECU connector and the electric parking brake switch connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between the electric parking brake ECU connector HSW terminal and the electric parking brake switch connector terminal No.8.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less).
(3)Measure the resistance between the electric parking brake ECU connector HSW terminal and body earth.
OK: No continuity.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
The signal circuit may be open or short to earth. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the electric parking brake switch and the electric parking brake ECU.

STEP 3. Check the brake auto hold switch.


Check the brake auto hold switch (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Replace the electric parking brake switch (Refer to ).

STEP 4. Retest the system


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
Replace the electric parking brake ECU (Refer to ).

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the electric parking brake ECU connector and the electric parking brake switch connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between the electric parking brake ECU connector HIND terminal and the electric parking brake switch connector terminal No.11.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less).
(3)Measure the resistance between the electric parking brake ECU connector HIND terminal and body earth.
OK: No continuity.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
The signal circuit may be open or short to earth. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the electric parking brake switch and the electric parking brake ECU.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at the electric parking brake switch connector.


(1)Disconnect the electric parking brake switch connector and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the voltage between the terminal No.5 and body earth.
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the electric parking brake switch connector and the fusible link.

STEP 7. Check the brake auto hold Indicator.


Check the brake auto hold indicator (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Replace the electric parking brake switch (Refer to ).

STEP 8. M.U.T.-III data list


Check the following data list (Refer to ).

  • Item No.68: Auto hold switch indicator

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 35C - Hydraulic Unit).

STEP 9. Retest the system


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
Replace the electric parking brake ECU (Refer to ).
