PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the power switch off.

(c) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(d) Check if the same DTC is output.

CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

(a) Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.

HINT:

If the fluid level is low, check for fluid leaks, and repair as necessary.

(1) Check for brake fluid leaks (connection between the brake booster pump assembly, brake master cylinder reservoir assembly (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), brake booster with master cylinder assembly, and wheel cylinders).

HINT:

If no leaks exist, add and adjust fluid using the Techstream.

(2) Check the thickness of the brake pad lining.

for Rear Brake: Click here 2018 - 2024 MY Camry HV [07/2017 -        ]; BRAKE (REAR): REAR BRAKE: INSPECTION

HINT:

If the thickness is less than the standard, replace the brake pads with new ones.

(b) Check that there are no leaks from the connections between the brake booster pump assembly and brake booster with master cylinder assembly.

HINT:

As a visual check is very difficult, perform the check with the following procedure.

(1) Bleed the air from the brake system.

(2) Turn the power switch off.

(3) Disconnect the A39 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.

(4) Select the Data List on the Techstream.

(5) Depress the brake pedal several times to operate the pump motor, then wait until it stops.

(6) After the pump motor stops, wait for 30 seconds, then check the drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value and the state of the pump motor.

Result

Proceed to

The drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value is less than 2.50 MPa 30 seconds after the pump motor stops, and the pump motor does not operate within 30 seconds after the pump motor stops.

A

The drop in the accumulator pressure sensor output value is 2.50 MPa or more 30 seconds after the pump motor stops, or the pump motor operates within 30 seconds after the pump motor stops.
