| Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster): C1256; Accumulator Low Pressure; 2019 - 2021 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [02/2019 - 12/2021] | ||
|
DTC |
C1256 |
Accumulator Low Pressure |
DESCRIPTION
The accumulator pressure sensor is built into the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and detects the accumulator pressure.
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) turns on the brake warning light / red (malfunction) and brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction), and sounds the meter buzzer if it senses a decrease in the accumulator pressure.
DTC C1256 may be stored if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).

PROCEDURE
|
1. |
BRAKE PROBLEM CHECK |
(a) Ask the customer if frequent braking was performed while the brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction) was on.
|
Result |
Proceed to |
|---|---|
|
Frequent braking was not performed. |
A |
|
Frequent braking was performed. |
B |
HINT:
This DTC may be stored even if the accumulator pressure drops only temporarily due to frequent braking.
