Title: STOP AND START: STOP AND START SYSTEM: P055511,P055515; Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Circuit Short to Ground; 2024 MY RAV4 [10/2023 -        ]

DTC

P055511

Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Circuit Short to Ground

DTC

P055515

Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open

DESCRIPTION

The engine stop and start ECU determines changes in the brake booster assembly pressure based on the voltage signal received from the vacuum sensor assembly in the brake booster assembly.

If the engine stop and start ECU judges that the signal received from the vacuum sensor assembly is abnormal, it stores DTC P055511 or P055515 and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING

HINT:

  • If the cable is disconnected from the battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed.

    In this case, let the vehicle idle to complete the refresh charge. The refresh charge is complete when the Data List item "Status of Battery Charge Control" changes from "Refresh Charge Mode". (Usually, idling the engine for 5 to 60 minutes with the battery fluid temperature at 11°C (51°F) or higher, the refresh charge will be completed.)

  • If the Techstream is not available and the Data List item "Status of Battery Charge Control" cannot be checked, charge the battery by idling the engine for approximately 5 to 60 minutes or driving the vehicle, and then drive the vehicle and check that stop and start control operates.

    If the engine is started with the hood open, the system determines that a jump start has occurred. Therefore, make sure that the hood is closed before starting the engine and driving the vehicle.

  • After the refresh charge completes, turn the ignition switch off, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then start the engine again. If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.
  • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs.

Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

(e) Start the engine and allow it to idle for 15 seconds or more.

(f) Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch to ON.

(g) Turn the Techstream on.

(h) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Data List / Brake Boost Pressure.

HINT:

  • Using the Techstream, read the freeze frame data before troubleshooting. System condition information is recorded as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
