  • Master cylinder pressure sensor (brake actuator assembly)

Tech Tips

for C1422: Even after the trouble areas are repaired, the ABS warning light will not go off unless the following operations are performed:


  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  2. Keep the vehicle stationary for 5 seconds or more and depress the brake pedal lightly 2 or 3 times.

  3. Drive the vehicle at the vehicle speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) and depress and hold the brake pedal firmly for approximately 3 seconds.

  4. Repeat the above operation 3 times or more and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

  5. Clear the DTCs.

    4. Check that the stop light switch display and brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the GTS change according to brake pedal operation.

      OK
      The GTS displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.

    5. Slowly depress the brake pedal, and check when the stop light switch and brake pedal load sensing switch turn on.

      OK
      First the stop light switch should turn on, and then the brake pedal load sensing switch should turn on.
