If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect
diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP
54D, Trouble code diagnosis P.54D-17).

DIAGNOSIS

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The brake fluid pressure sensor is incorporated in the hydraulic
unit. When the brake pedal is depressed, the pressure sensor
detects the brake pressure applied from the master cylinder,
converts this pressure into the voltage signal, and outputs it.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This diagnostic trouble codes will be set under the cases below:

｠

When the pressure sensor offset is not within the standard
value range

｠

When the estimated pressure sensor temperature is not
normal

PROBABLE CAUSES

｠

Incorrect adjustment of brake pedal height

｠

Master cylinder malfunction

｠

Brake booster malfunction

｠

Incorrect installation position of stop light switch

｠

Malfunction of the stop light switch

｠

Brake drag

｠

Malfunction of the ASC-ECU

｠

Malfunction of the stop light

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

｠

MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

｠

MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

｠

MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

｠

MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

｠

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

Go to Step 3.

NO:

Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54D - CAN

Bus Diagnostics table P.54D-17.) On completion, go to
Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting
CAN bus lines

Q:Is DTC C121E set?

YES:

Go to Step 3.

NO:

The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is set.
Refer to GROUP 54Ac - Diagnosis Function <Rear combination
light> P.54Ac-99.

Q:Is any DTC set?

YES:

Go to Step 9.

NO:

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Brake pedal check
Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service P.35A-14.

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

Go to Step 6.

NO:

Adjust the brake pedal, and then go to Step 7.

(0.16 ± 0.02 in)

No continuity

Continuity

｠

Remove the stop light switch. (Refer to GROUP 35A -Brake
Pedal P.35A-22.)

the edge of the outer case by the dimension shown in the
figure and when continuity is detected with the plunger
released, the stop light switch is in good condition.

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

Go to Step 8.

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect
diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis,
diagnose the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54D, Trouble
code diagnosis P.54D-17).

CIRCUIT OPERATION
ETACS-ECU sends the ON signal generated when the brake
pedal is depressed and OFF signal generated when it is
released to ASC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This diagnostic trouble code is set in the following case.

｠

When the vehicle has run for a long time with the stop light
switch turned ON.

｠

When there is difference between the stop light state and the
vehicle's behavior

PROBABLE CAUSES

｠

Improper adjustment of stop light switch installation position
