Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for HV Model): C117B62; Brake Pressure Sensor "A" / Brake Switch "A" Signal Compare Failure; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]

DTC

C117B62

Brake Pressure Sensor "A" / Brake Switch "A" Signal Compare Failure

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives stop light switch assembly signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied.

When the brake pedal is depressed and no signal is received from the stop light switch assembly, this DTC is output.

DTC No.

C117B62

Brake Pressure Sensor "A" / Brake Switch "A" Signal Compare Failure

Either of the following is detected when the vehicle speed of 3 km/h (2 mph) or more:

  1. With the stop light switch assembly off, the stop light switch assembly is judged to be on based on the master cylinder pressure value for 3 seconds or more.
  2. With the stop light switch assembly off, the master cylinder pressure is more than 8 MPa (81.6 kgf/cm2, 1160 psi) for 3 seconds or more.
  • Stop light switch assembly
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

Comes on

Brake/EPB
  • SAE Code: C117B
  • Output ECU: Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

C117B (Case 1):

  • When the vehicle is being driven at a certain speed or more, 60 seconds or more have elapsed after operation of the brake pedal, and any of the following conditions continue for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
    • The master cylinder pressure after the offset calibration is a certain value or more.
    • The master cylinder pressure before the offset calibration is a certain value or more.
    • The vehicle speed is a certain value or more and the master cylinder pressure is less than a certain value.
    • The stop light switch assembly is off, and the master cylinder pressure is a certain value or more.

C117B (Case 2):

  • When the vehicle is being driven at a certain speed or more, the brake pedal is not operated, the ABS is not operating, and the master cylinder pressure exceeds a certain value for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) 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.
  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and turn the GTS on.
  6. Drive the vehicle at 3 km/h (2 mph) or more for 3 seconds. [*]

    HINT:

    [*]: Normal judgment procedure.

    The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

  7. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB* / Utility / All Readiness.

    *: Electric Parking Brake System

  8. 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.
