DTC 47: Cal FR Brake System Malfunction

NOTE: In this troubleshooting, you will operate the ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) BRAKE (brake actuator 3) continuously four or five times using the FUNCTION TEST with the HDS. During this operation, the VSA modulator-control unit may stop working. This means the VSA modulator-control unit has shut down to protect the system from overheating during continuous operation.

If the VSA modulator-control unit stops working, wait for a few minutes until the VSA modulator-control unit cools down, then restart the troubleshooting.

1. Check for VSA System DTCs with the HDS.

Are any DTCs indicated?

YES - Troubleshoot the indicated VSA system DTC(s).

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Start the engine, and turn the ACC switch ON.
3. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
4. Select ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) from the DRIVING SUPPORT menu, then enter the FUNCTION TEST.
5. Activate BRAKE ACTUATOR 3 from the FUNCTION TEST menu.
6. Watch the ACC indicator.

Is the ACC indicator amber?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Go to step 7.

7. Activate BRAKE ACTUATOR 3 again.
8. While the brake actuator is operating, press the brake pedal.
9. Watch the ACC indicator.

Does the ACC indicator stay amber?
