Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster): Excessive Brake Pedal Travel (No Fluid Leaks and No Air in System); 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [12/2021 -        ]

Excessive Brake Pedal Travel (No Fluid Leaks and No Air in System)

DESCRIPTION

Depending on the malfunction, the skid control ECU prohibits operation of the electronically controlled brake system to protect components and prevent incorrect operation when DTCs are stored.

If the switching solenoid is disabled due to prohibition of the electronically controlled brake system, the response of the brake pedal changes and braking performance is reduced.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After replacing the No. 1 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), perform "Calibration" after performing "Reset Memory".
