MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned to ON and the fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) is on for a certain amount of time, the No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) judges that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
NOTICE:
When performing the normal judgment procedure, make sure that the driver door is closed and is not opened at any time during the procedure.
HINT:
-
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
-
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
-
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
-
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
-
Turn the ignition switch off.
-
Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and turn the GTS on.
-
Wait 20 seconds. [*]
HINT:
[*]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
-
Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Utility / All Readiness.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT:
-
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
-
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
-
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform driving pattern again.

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 with accumulator pump assembly, brake fluid level warning switch (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 GTS.
Click here
(2) Check the thickness of the brake pad lining.
for Front Brake: Click here
for Rear Brake: Click here
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 with accumulator 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.
Click here
(2) Turn the ignition switch off.
(3) Disconnect the A103 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
(4) Depress the brake pedal several times to operate the pump motor, then wait until it stops.
(5) 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.
