Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model without Electric Parking Brake System): Brake Warning Light Remains ON; 2020 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [01/2019 - 09/2022]

Brake Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

This procedure is for troubleshooting when the brake warning light / red (malfunction) remains on but no DTCs are output.

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) controls the brake warning light / red (malfunction) in the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • After replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform acceleration sensor zero point calibration and store system information memorization.

  • Before performing this procedure, depress the brake pedal and confirm that the stop lights illuminate.

PROCEDURE

1.

PRE-CHECK

(a) Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake warning light / red (malfunction) to turn off are met:

(1) The ABS warning light are not illuminated.

HINT:

If the ABS warning light remains illuminated, make sure that the conditions required for the ABS warning light to turn off are met.

(2) The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly is not low.

(3) The vacuum inside the brake booster decreases.

HINT:

When the vacuum inside the brake booster decreases, the brake warning light / red (malfunction) comes on.
