1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Select the Data List mode on the Techstream Data List / Active Test.

ABS/VSC/TRAC:





(d) Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor indicated on the Techstream changes when the brake pedal is depressed.
OK:
Brake fluid pressure value should change.
NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration Calibration.

NG -- INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (STP TERMINAL)
OK -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (STP TERMINAL)
(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
