CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform
zero point calibration and store system information (See page
).
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
CHECK BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH INSTALLATION |
(a) Check the brake pedal height installation (See page
).
(b) Check the stop light switch assembly installation (See page
).
OK:
The brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation are normal.
HINT:
If the on/off status of the stop light switch assembly and pressure increase information from the master cylinder pressure sensor do not match due to an improperly installed brake pedal or stop light switch assembly, this DTC may be stored. Therefore, be sure to check the installation condition of the pedal and switch before inspecting the input signals and other related parts.
