ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1256/57

DTC Code DTC Name
C1256/57 Accumulator Low Pressure

DESCRIPTION

The accumulator pressure sensor is built into the actuator and detects the accumulator pressure.

The skid control ECU turns on the brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction) and sounds the skid control buzzer if it senses a decrease in the accumulator pressure.

Tech Tips

DTC C1256/57 may be output if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).

DTC Code Information Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1256/57 141

When either of the following is detected (after a condition is met, the code is stored and the buzzer sounds):


  1. When inputting the vehicle speed, the brake operation is input with the accumulator pressure low or the accumulator pressure extremely decreases while braking for 0.3 seconds or more.

  2. The accumulator pressure has been low since system start and the pressure is less than 14.62 MPa for 120 seconds.

  • Frequent braking (this is not a malfunction)

  • Brake accumulator pump

  • Brake actuator
↑ 143

When any of the following is detected:


  1. When inputting the vehicle speed, any of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor values is lower than the specified value with the accumulator pressure low for 0.5 seconds or more.

  2. The accumulator pressure decreases without increasing the wheel cylinder pressure of each wheel.

  3. With the motor relay abnormal or off, the accumulator pressure is less than 14.62 MPa for 0.5 seconds or more.

  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS


    1. Perform customer problem analysis to confirm whether if the customer was frequently braking when the brake warning light/yellow (minor malfunction) was illuminated.

      Tech Tips

      DTC C1256/57 may be output if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      There was no frequent braking A

  4. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).

    3. Select the DATA LIST mode on the intelligent tester.

      ABS/VSC/TRAC:
      Tester Display Measurement Item /Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Accumulator Pressure Sensor Accumulator pressure sensor / min.: 0 V, max.: 5 V Specified value: 2.6 to 3.8 V -

    4. Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times to operate the pump motor, and check the output value on the intelligent tester with the motor stopped (not braking) for 30 seconds.

      OK
      The accumulator pressure sensor voltage change is within 0.2 V.

    5. Check that each wheel cylinder's output value does not increase.

      OK
      Each wheel cylinder's output value does not increase.

      Tech Tips

      If any of wheel cylinder's output value increases, there may be a brake fluid leak in the brake actuator.
