BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM: C1247/47,C1346/71,C1392/48: Stroke Sensor Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The stroke sensor inputs the pedal stroke into the skid control ECU.

DTC C1346/71 will be cleared when the brake pedal stroke sensor sends a stroke sensor signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1346/71 is output only in Test Mode.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the skid control ECU or brake pedal stroke sensor, perform initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve Initialization.

HINT
Check the condition of each related circuit connector before troubleshooting Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL

(a) Check that the brake pedal and the brake pedal stroke sensor are properly installed and that the pedal can be operated normally.

(b) Check and adjust the brake pedal height Adjustments.

(c) Adjust the brake pedal stroke sensor Adjustments.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR)

(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.





(b) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector and the brake pedal stroke sensor connector.

(c) Check both the connector case and the terminal for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

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

3. PERFORM INITIALIZATION AND CALIBRATION OF LINEAR SOLENOID VALVE

(a) Reconnect the skid control ECU connector and the brake pedal stroke sensor connector.

(b) Perform initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve Initialization.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

4. RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(c) Perform a road test.

(d) Check if the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





B -- END
A -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (SENSOR OUTPUT)

(a) Turn the power switch on (IG).





(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(c) Turn the power switch off.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR)

(a) Connect a pedal effort gauge On-Vehicle Inspection.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(d) Select the Data List on the Techstream Data List / Active Test.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(e) When depressing the brake pedal with the amount of force listed in the table below, check that the output value displayed on the Techstream is within the standard voltage.

HINT
The brake pedal must be depressed gradually.

Standard Voltage:





NG -- REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR Removal

OK -- REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU Removal
