ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1391/69

DTC Code DTC Name
C1391/69 Accumulator Leak Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if internal or external brake fluid leaks are detected due to improper sealing in the brake actuator assembly. Internal leaks are suspected if the pump motor operates frequently without braking.

DTC No. Detection Item INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Note
C1391/69 Accumulator Leak Malfunction 591

Either of the following is detected:


  1. Accumulator pressure sensor input does not increase before braking and while the pump motor is operating.

  2. Accumulator pressure sensor input reduction rate exceeds the specification before braking and while the pump motor is not operating.

  • Brake fluid leaks

  • Brake booster with accumulator pump assembly

  • Brake actuator assembly

  2. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAK


    1. Check that there are no fluid leaks in the brake lines between the brake booster with accumulator pump assembly and the brake actuator assembly.

    2. Check that there are no fluid leaks in the brake lines between the brake actuator assembly and the wheel cylinders.

    3. Check that the brakes are not dragging.

      OK
      There are no fluid leaks or dragging.

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Select the Data List on the GTS.

    4. Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times and operate the pump motor.

    5. Wait for 30 seconds without depressing the brake pedal.

    6. Check that the accumulator pressure sensor output value change is within the specified range.

      OK
      Accumulator pressure sensor output value change is less than 0.20 V.

      Tech Tips


      • This inspection is performed to determine if a long-term power malfunction occurred when low pressure is detected due to a defective sensor, an internal leak in the brake actuator assembly, or deterioration of the accumulator.

      • External brake fluid leaks are suspected if the fluid level drops inside the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly.
