NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information. - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System .

DTC (EVPS)

1. Problem verification

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current Condition
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR (A) VOLTAGE	More than 4.71	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the brake booster pressure sensor and the PCM.

2. Determine possible failure area (MPMON line shorted, others)

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector

   - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 1
   Test point 2	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 2

   Is there 4.8 V or more?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Go to step 5.

3. Shorted wire check (MPMON line to power)

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 2
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there 0.5 V or more?

   YES 

   Repair a short to power in the MPMON wire between PCM connector A (51P) terminal No. 36 and the brake booster pressure sensor.

   NO 

   Go to step 4.

4. Brake booster pressure sensor check (substitution)

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Substitute a known-good brake booster pressure sensor.

   - 3. Reconnect the following connectors.

   Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector

   PCM connector A (51P)

   - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 5. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   - 6. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then ON mode.

   - 7. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

   DTC Description	DTC	Freeze Frame
   P0555 Brake Booster Pressure Sensor A Circuit High Voltage

   Is DTC P0555 indicated?

   YES 

   Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM.

   NO 

   Replace the original brake booster pressure sensor .

5. Determine possible failure area (MPMON line, others)

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 2
   Terminal B	Body ground

   - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 4. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current Condition
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR (A) VOLTAGE	Less than 0.1	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Go to step 6.

   NO 

   Go to step 8.

6. Brake booster pressure sensor check

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Remove the jumper wire from the brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector.

   - 3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 1
   Terminal B	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 2

   - 4. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current Condition
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR (A) VOLTAGE	Less than 0.1	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Replace the brake booster pressure sensor .

   NO 

   Go to step 7.

7. Open wire check (SG6 line)

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Remove the jumper wire from the brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector.

   - 3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Brake booster pressure sensor 3P connector No. 1
   Test point 2	PCM connector A (51P) No. 20 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (9-Speed A/T) (2016 2017 2018), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs(6-Speed A/T) (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020)
