Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): Brake Hold Operated Indicator Light Circuit; 2019 - 2021 MY Avalon [04/2018 - 08/2021]

Brake Hold Operated Indicator Light Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The brake hold operated indicator light illuminates when the brake hold system is operating (vehicle stopped due to brake fluid pressure hold) and turns off when the brake hold system operation is finished (brake fluid pressure decreases).

The brake hold system may not operate depending on vehicle conditions even when the system is in standby mode and the brake hold standby indicator light is illuminated.

If there is a system malfunction that causes brake hold control to be prohibited, when the vehicle is under the following conditions and the brake hold switch (electric parking brake switch assembly) is pressed, the brake hold operated indicator light blinks.

  • Vehicle Conditions:
    1. The driver door is closed.
    2. The driver seat belt is fastened.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.
