BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM: C1391/69: Accumulator Leak Malfunction
C1391/69 - Accumulator Leak Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The DTC is stored if an internal or external brake fluid leak is detected due to improper sealing in the brake actuator or brake booster pump. Internal leakage is suspected if the pump motor operates frequently without braking.





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve Initialization.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAK

(a) Check that there is no fluid leakage in the brake line between the brake actuator and the wheel cylinder which is indicated by DTCs.





(b) Check that the brake is not dragging.

OK:

There is no fluid leakage or dragging.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE APPLICABLE PART
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. RECONFIRM DTC

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

(b) Turn the power switch on (READY).

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

Result:





B -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY Removal
A -- Continue to next step.

3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SOLENOID VALVE)

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

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

HINT
The Active Test can be performed when the following conditions are met.

- ABS main relays 1 and 2 are on.
- Shift lever is in P.
- Parking brake is applied.
- Vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(e) *: Electronically Controlled Brake System

(f) Perform the Active Test of the solenoid using the Techstream.





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

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(h) Check that the output value of each wheel cylinder does not increase.

OK:

The output value of each wheel cylinder does not increase.

HINT
If any output value increases, there may be a brake fluid leak in the brake actuator.

Result:





B -- REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP Removal

A -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY Removal
