      DATA LIST REFERENCE CHART

      Item Measurement Item / Range (Display) Normal Condition
      MAS CYL PRS 1 Master cylinder pressure sensor 1 reading / min.: 0 V, max.: 5 V When brake pedal is released: 0.3 to 0.9 V
    4. Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor indicated on the intelligent tester, changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

      OK: 

      Brake fluid pressure value should change. 

    NOTE: When replacing the ABS & TRACTION actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION  ).
