Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: Accumulator Pressure Sensor Stuck (C14D5)

DESCRIPTION

The accumulator pressure sensor is built into the brake booster with master cylinder assembly and detects the accumulator pressure.

If the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) detects that the accumulator pressure sensor value is below the threshold, operation of the motor relay is requested and the pump motor built into the brake booster pump assembly operates.

DTC No.

Note

C14D5

Accumulator Pressure Sensor Stuck

334

When the pump motor is operating, the accumulator pressure sensor signal does not change for 14 seconds or more.

Skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

Comes on

  • INF Code 334: SAE Code C14D5
  • Electronically controlled brake system DTC

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the volume of brake fluid within the accumulator is below a certain amount, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) operates the pump motor. When the pump motor is being operated and the output value of the accumulator pressure sensor does not change substantially for a certain period of time, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the accumulator pressure sensor has a stuck malfunction and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off.
  6. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Repeat the following step 3 times.
    • Fully depress the brake pedal for 2 seconds, release it and wait 1 second.
  9. Wait 14 seconds.
  10. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
  11. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  12. If the DTCs are not output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If no permanent DTCs are output, the system is normal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After replacing the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), perform linear solenoid valve offset learning, ABS holding solenoid valve learning, yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration and system information memorization after performing "Reset Memory".
