| 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.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Tech Tips
DTCs for the stop and start system are not cleared even if the malfunction has been repaired. After repairing the malfunction, be sure to clear the DTCs.
CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING
Tech Tips
If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.
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.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Data List / Brake Boost Pressure.
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.
Stop the vehicle.
Check that DTCs are not output.
STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
Tech Tips
If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Turn the air conditioning system off.
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.
Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.
Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control.
Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Before replacing the engine stop and start ECU, read the number of starter operations and write it into a new engine stop and start ECU.
After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or air conditioning amplifier assembly, reset and perform learning of the air conditioning information in the engine stop and start ECU.
After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or airbag sensor assembly, perform deceleration sensor zero point clear and calibration.
Tech Tips
Using the GTS, read the freeze frame data before troubleshooting. System condition information is recorded as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Trouble Codes.
Read the other DTCs.

READ VALUE USING GTS (BRAKE BOOST PRESSURE)
Start the engine and warm it up.
Turn the ignition switch off. (*1)
Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine is stopped) (*2)
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Data List / Brake Boost Pressure. (*3)
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Brake Boost Pressure |
Depress the brake pedal 5 times and read the changes in the following pressure value.
| OK | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
Because it is hard to cause variation in the internal pressure before and after depressing the brake pedal if the brake booster internal pressure is high before depressing the brake pedal, do not operate the brake pedal as much as possible between operations (*1) and (*3).
