INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand–held tester and start from step 2 in case of not
using the hand–held tester.

1

Check output value of the master cylinder pressure sensor.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Connect the hand–held tester to the DLC3.

(b)

Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand–held tester main switch ON.

(c)

Select the DATALIST mode on the hand–held tester.

CHECK:
Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor displayed on the hand–held
tester is changing when depressing the brake pedal.
OK:

Brake fluid pressure value must be changing.

OK

Go to step 4.

NG

2

Check master cylinder pressure sensor.

PREPARATION:
Install LSPV gauge to the front brake caliper bleeder plug por-
tion, and bleed air from LSPV gauge.

CHECK:
Start the engine and depress the brake pedal, then check the
relation between the fluid pressure and voltage of PMC and E2
terminals of the master cylinder pressure sensor with connector
still connected.
OK:

3

Check for open and short circuit in harness and connector between master cyl-
inder pressure sensor and skid control ECU (See page IN–32).

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

4

Check whether or not the ECU terminal STP input voltage is changed when the
stop light switch is turned on and off.

NO

Check stop light switch circuit (See page
BE–53).

YES

Check and replace skid control ECU.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

Check operation of the stop light switch.

CHECK:
Check that the stop light lights up when brake pedal is depressed and turns off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.

OK

Go to step 3.

NG

2

Check stop light circuit (See page BE–53).

NG

Repair or replace stop light circuit.

OK

3

Check voltage between terminal STP of skid control ECU and body ground.

PREPARATION:
Remove the skid control ECU with connectors still connected.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminal STP of skid control ECU
and body ground when brake pedal is depressed.
OK:

Voltage: 8 – 14 V

OK

Check and replace skid control ECU.
