DTC

C14C3

Servo Pressure Sensor Zero Point Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The Servo pressure sensor detects and outputs the brake fluid pressure generated in the wheel cylinder according to the vehicle condition to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

DTC No.

Note

C14C3

Servo Pressure Sensor Zero Point Malfunction

424

When the brake pedal is not depressed, the servo pressure sensor output value is -0.63 MPa (-6.4 kgf/cm2, -91.4 psi) or less or 1.53 MPa (15.6 kgf/cm2, 222 psi) or more for 3 seconds or more.

Skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

Comes on
  • INF Code 424: SAE Code C14C3
  • Electronically controlled brake system DTC

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the brake pedal is not operated and the servo pressure sensor output value exceeds a specific value, or the value is less than a specific value for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the zero point of the servo pressure sensor is abnormal and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off.
  6. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Wait 3 seconds.
  9. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
  10. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. If the DTCs are not output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If no permanent DTCs are output, the system is normal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After replacing the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), perform linear solenoid valve offset learning, ABS holding solenoid valve learning, yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration and system information memorization after performing "Reset Memory".

Servo Pressure

(b) Check that the servo pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa when the brake pedal not depressed.

OK:

The servo pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa.

HINT:

If the servo pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) automatically performs zero point calibration every time the power switch is turned on (IG).

Therefore, if the servo pressure sensor output value is not within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa, replace the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) with a new one.
