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 output value of 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.

DTC No.

Brake Booster Sensor Circuit

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

  • Vacuum hose assembly (Brake booster hose)

  • Engine stop and start ECU

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tip:

DTCs for the stop and start system are not cleared automatically, even if the malfunction has been repaired. After repairing the malfunction, be sure to clear the DTCs.

  1. Tip:

    • When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. 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 it is warmed up and check that the engine idle 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.

      Click here

      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

    Tip:

    When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. 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 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 be stopped by stop and start control.

    6. Depress the clutch pedal to start the engine.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • Before replacing the engine stop and start ECU, download the current status (number of starter operations) and upload it into a new engine stop and start ECU.
