Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).

HINT:

DTCs may be output if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).

  1. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the brake actuator connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the actuator.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A2-1 (BM2) - A2-31 (GND1) Below 10 Ω
      A2-2(BM1) - A2-31 (GND1) Below 10 Ω
      A2-1 (BM2) - A2-2(BM1) Below 1 Ω
      A2-31 (GND1) - A2-32 (GND2) Below 1 Ω
      A2-1 (BM2) - A2-33 (MTT) Approx. 10 Ω
      A2-2(BM1) - A2-33(MTT) Approx. 10 Ω

    NG: REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY

  2. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the accumulator pressure sensor.
    2. Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times to operate the pump motor, and check the output value on the intelligent tester with the motor stopped (not braking).
