Brake Warning Light Remains ON |
DESCRIPTION
This procedure is for troubleshooting when the brake system warning light / red (indicator) remains on but no DTCs are output.
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) controls the brake system warning light / red (indicator) in the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

- Before performing this procedure, depress the brake pedal and confirm that the stop lights illuminate.
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
PRE-CHECK |
(a) Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake system warning light / red (indicator) to turn off are met:
(1) The ABS warning light is not illuminated.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light remains illuminated, make sure that the conditions required for the ABS warning light to turn off are met.
Click here
(2) The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly is not low.
(3) The vacuum inside the brake booster decreases.
HINT:
When the vacuum inside the brake booster decreases, the brake system warning light / red (indicator) comes on.

2. |
CHECK VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Utility / Vehicle Control History (RoB).
(d) Using the Techstream, check for Vehicle Control History.

Vehicle Control History (RoB) |
HINT:
If vehicle control history is stored when the electronically controlled brake system and electric parking brake system are suspended, the brake system warning light / red (indicator) illuminates.
|
Result |
Proceed to |
|---|---|
|
There is no vehicle control history for when the electronically controlled brake system and electric parking brake system were suspended. |

INSPECT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY |
|
(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector. OK: The connector is securely connected. |
|
(b) Disconnect the A1 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
(c) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK:
No deformation or corrosion.
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
HINT:
A float is located inside the reservoir. Its position changes according to the brake fluid level.
Standard Resistance:
