Inspection Procedure 10: Abnormality In Brake Operation

Inspection Procedure 10: Abnormality in Brake Operation

CAUTION:
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
^ Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
^ When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sensor.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Although the cause of the trouble cannot be clearly resolved since it depends on the running status and road surface condition, the malfunction of the hydraulic circuit may occur if any diagnostic trouble code is not detected.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Hydraulic unit (Integrated with ASC-ECU) malfunction
^ Malfunction of hydraulic circuit
^ Malfunction of brake assembly
^ Malfunction of brake booster
^ Malfunction of master cylinder assembly

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
^ MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
^ MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnostic trouble code
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Troubleshoot for the relevant diagnosis code.

STEP 2. Hydraulic unit (Integrated with ASC-ECU) check
Check that the brake tube is installed to the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) correctly.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Connect the brake tubes correctly, repair the external brake lines, or replace the ASC-ECU.

STEP 3. Brake operation check
Perform the following checks.
^ Brake pedal check
^ Brake booster check
^ Check valve check
Q: Can any fault be found with the brake operation?
YES: Check the brake-related parts, and repair if necessary. Then, go to Step 4.
NO: Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Hydraulic unit check
Perform the following actuator tests.
^ Item No.01: FL wheel ABS drive
^ Item No.02: FR wheel ABS drive
^ Item No.03: RL wheel ABS drive
^ Item No.04: RR wheel ABS drive
^ Item No.05: FL wheel TCL drive
^ Item No.06: FR wheel TCL drive
^ Item No.07: RL wheel TCL drive
^ Item No.08: RR wheel TCL drive
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: This diagnosis is complete.
NO: Replace the ASC-ECU.
