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 actuator assembly

    (Malfunctioning internal seal, low gas pressure in accumulator, etc.)

  • Skid control ECU assembly

Electronically controlled brake system DTC

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the skid control ECU assembly or brake actuator assembly, perform initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAK


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

    2. Check that the brakes are not dragging.

      OK
      There are no fluid leaks or dragging.

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR)


    1. Turn the power switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    4. Select the Data List on the GTS.

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

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

    7. Check that the output value of the accumulator pressure sensor does not decrease and that the pump motor is not activated due to a decrease in accumulator pressure.

      OK
      Accumulator pressure does not decrease and the pump motor is not activated due to a decrease in accumulator pressure.
