STOP AND START SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1541

DTC Code DTC Name
P1541 Brake Booster Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The engine stop and start ECU determines changes in the brake booster assembly pressure based on the voltage signal received from the vacuum sensor assembly in the brake booster assembly.

If the input value from the vacuum sensor assembly remains the same even though the brake booster assembly pressure changes when the brake pedal is operated or the vehicle is being driven, the engine stop and start ECU judges that the sensor is stuck.

When sticking of the sensor is detected, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P1541 and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator light.

The following condition is met (1 trip detection logic):


  • Vacuum does not change while brake pedal is operated 3 times in a row.

Both of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic):


  • Vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h (18.6 mph) 30 times or more.

  • Changes in vacuum (difference between the maximum and minimum values) is 0.3 kPa (0.003 kgf/cm2, 0.04 psi) or less.

  • Vacuum sensor assembly

  • Brake booster assembly

  • Check valve to connector tube hose (Brake booster hose)

  • Engine stop and start ECU

  1. Tech Tips


    • When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited for a certain amount of time. After connecting the cable, drive the vehicle until stop and start control is permitted (approximately 15 to 40 minutes).

    • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after the engine warms up and check that the engine speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.

    CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Clear the DTCs.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Data List / Brake Boost Pressure.


      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Data List
      Tester Display
      Brake Boost Pressure

    6. Drive the vehicle at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) or more and stop the vehicle. Repeat this driving pattern 30 times to allow the brake booster vacuum to change.

    7. Stop the vehicle.

    8. Check that DTCs are not output.

  2. STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

    Tech Tips

    When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited for a certain amount of time. After connecting the cable, drive the vehicle until stop and start control is permitted (approximately 15 to 40 minutes).


    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

    3. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    4. Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.

    5. Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control.

    6. Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
