Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then measure the voltage between brake fluid pressure sensor terminal C and ground.
    • If there is any malfunction, inspect the wiring harness between brake fluid pressure sensor terminal C and DSC HU/CM terminal C, then repair or replace if necessary.

      Standard voltage: 4.75-5.25 V

  2. Measure the voltage between brake fluid pressure sensor terminal A and the ground.
    • If there is any malfunction, inspect the wiring harness between brake fluid pressure sensor terminal A and DSC HU/CM terminal E, then repair or replace if necessary.

      Standard voltage: 0 V 

  3. Turn the ignition switch off.
  4. Install the SSTs  to the master cylinder.
    NOTE:
    • Install the SST (49 D043 002 or 49 N043 001) to the master cylinder using a commercially available flare nut wrench. 
      • Flare nut across flat: 12 mm {0.47 in} 
  5. Bleed the air from the SSTs  and the brake line. (Bleed air from the SSTs  through air bleeding valve A.)

  6. Connect the M-MDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.

  7. Select the MCYLI P PID.
  8. Start the engine.
  9. Depress the brake pedal, and confirm that the fluid pressure value of the SST  (Gauge) and the value shown on the M-MDS or equivalent are equal.
    • If the fluid pressures are different, replace the DSC HU/CM.
