Either of the following is detected:

  1. The brake fluid level warning switch signal circuit is open for a certain period of time.
  2. The reservoir level is low for a certain period of time.
  • Open or short in brake fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)
  • Brake fluid leaks
  • Open or short in wire harness
  • Low brake fluid
  • Skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

Comes on
  • INF Code 1126: SAE Code C1202
  • Electronically controlled brake system DTC

HINT:

DTC C1202 (INF code 1126) is cleared when the conditions return to normal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the power switch is on (IG) and the fluid level warning switch (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) is on for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

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.

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 A9 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.

(4) Select the Data List on the Techstream.
