VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM Excessive Brake Pedal Travel (No Fluid Leaks and No Air in System)

DESCRIPTION

Depending on the malfunction, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) prohibits operation of the vehicle stability control system to protect components and prevent incorrect operation when DTCs are stored.

If the switching solenoid is disabled due to prohibition of the vehicle stability control system, the response of the brake pedal changes and braking performance is reduced.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning.

PROCEDURE


  1. BRAKE PROBLEM CHECK


    1. Check the conditions at the time the problem occurred.


      1. Whether a warning light illuminated or the buzzer sounded.

      2. Road surface condition when the problem occurred and just before the problem occurred.

      3. When the problem occurred and how many times the brake pedal was depressed before the problem occurred.

      4. Frequency of the abnormal brake pedal response.

      Tech Tips


      • If there are currently no warnings and the brake pedal travel is not excessive, DTCs may have been cleared after the system returned to normal.

      • If the brake pedal response returned to normal and there are currently no warnings, the system is normal.
