Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: Accumulator Low Pressure (C1256)

DESCRIPTION

The accumulator pressure sensor is connected to the skid control ECU in the master cylinder solenoid.

PROCEDURE

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(b) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

(c) Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(e) Wait for 99 seconds.

(f) Check if the same DTCs are recorded.

END

A

(a) Inspect brake booster pump power supply system function.

(1) Turn the ignition switch off.

(2) Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more to release the pressure in the accumulator.

HINT:

When the pressure is released, the brake pedal stroke becomes longer.

(3) Check that the brake fluid level is at the MAX level.

(4) Chock the 4 wheels and release the parking brake.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to ON and measure the brake booster pump operating time (the time from when the brake booster pump starts operating until it stops).

OK:

20 to 80 seconds

(6) Start the engine after the brake boost pump stops.

(7) Check that the ABS warning light and slip indicator light are not illuminated.

(8) Turn off the engine, and then turn the ignition switch to ON.

(9) Check that the brake boost pump operates and then stops when the brake pedal is depressed 4 or 5 times.

(10) Depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times and measure the brake booster pump operating time (the time from when the brake booster pump starts operating until it stops).

OK:

2 to 11 seconds

(11) Check that the brake warning light illuminates and the buzzer sounds when the brake pedal is fully depressed continuously 15 to 20 times.

NOTICE:

Wait 120 seconds or more after turning the ignition switch to ON before performing this inspection.

(b) Check brake booster operation.

(1) Turn the ignition switch off.

(2) Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more to release the pressure in the accumulator.

HINT:

When the pressure is released, the brake pedal stroke becomes longer.

(3) Depress the brake pedal, start the engine, and check the change in the brake pedal height.

OK:

The brake pedal moves slightly inward.

(c) Inspect brake master cylinder fluid pressure change (See page ).

GO TO STEP 5

OK

(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(c) Turn Techstream ON.

(d) Select the "Data List" mode on the Techstream.

(e) Check that the accumulator's output value is in the Normal Condition range.

OK:

Accumulator pressure sensor value is in the Normal Condition.

REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID

OK

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(b) Check if the same DTCs are recorded.

END

(a) Remove the hydraulic brake booster assembly (See page ).

(b) Using a screwdriver, remove the 2 screws and pull out the wire harness from the master cylinder solenoid.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Resistance: Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Red wire terminal - Black wire terminal Always Below 2 Ω Text in Illustration *1 Pump motor wire harness *a Red wire *b Black wire

(d) Install the pump motor wire harness to the master cylinder solenoid with the 2 screws.
