Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster): C1391; Abnormal Leak in Accumulator; 2019 - 2021 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [02/2019 - 12/2021]

DTC

C1391

Abnormal Leak in Accumulator

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if internal or external brake fluid leaks are detected due to improper sealing in the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) or brake booster pump assembly. Internal leaks are suspected if the pump motor operates frequently without braking.

DTC No.

C1391

Abnormal Leak in Accumulator

351

Either of the following is detected:

  1. Accumulator pressure sensor input does not increase before braking or while the pump motor is operating.
  2. Accumulator pressure sensor input reduction rate exceeds the specification before braking and while the pump motor is not operating.
  • Brake fluid leaks
  • Brake actuator (Brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

    (Malfunctioning internal seal, low gas pressure in accumulator, etc.)

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR FLUID LEAK

(a) Check that there are no fluid leaks in the brake lines between the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and the wheel cylinders.

(b) Check that the brakes are not dragging.

OK:

There are no fluid leaks or dragging.
