DESCRIPTION

Each solenoid adjusts pressure which affects each wheel cylinder according to signals from the skid control ECU and controls the vehicle.
The master cut solenoid (SMC 1/2) is closed and blocks the master cylinder pressure from the Electronically Controlled Brake System control pressure when the system is normal. The master cut solenoid is open and sends the master cylinder fluid pressure to the non-assisted brake wheel cylinders during the fail-safe operation when the system is malfunctioning.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
When replacing the skid control ECU or brake actuator assembly, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration Programming and Relearning.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the brake actuator assembly connector.




(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:






NG -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU TO BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)




(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU (A13, A15) connectors and brake actuator assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:





(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. RECONFIRM DTC
(a) Clear the DTC Electronically Controlled Brake System.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Check if the same DTCs are recorded Electronically Controlled Brake System.
HINT: Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before rechecking for DTCs.

Result:






B -- REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU
A -- END
RENDER: 1.0x
