Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point CALIBRATION .
  1. READ VALUE ON TECHSTREAM (DOWNHILL ASSIST CONTROL SWITCH) 

    ABS / VSC / TRAC: 

    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Select the Data List mode on Techstream (See DATA LIST/ACTIVE TEST  ).
      ABS / VSC / TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Downhill Assist Control SW Downhill assist control switch / ON or OFF ON Switch ON
      OFF Switch OFF
      -
    4. Using Techstream, check the switch condition on Techstream changes according to downhill assist control switch operation.

    OK: The Techstream displays ON or OFF according to downhill assist control switch operation. 

    NG:  Go to step  3

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Perform the sensor check in TEST MODE PROCEDURE .

      OK: All Test Mode DTCs are erased. 

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).

    NG: REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (SYMPTOM SIMULATION)  (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 

  3. INSPECT DOWNHILL ASSIST CONTROL SWITCH 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
    3. Disconnect the downhill assist control switch connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLE

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      4 (B) - 1 (E) Switch is pushed in Below 1 Ω
      4 (B) - 1 (E) Switch is not pushed in 10 kΩ or higher
      NOTE: Check the downhill assist control switch signal after replacement (See TEST MODE PROCEDURE  ).

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A24-26 (HDCS) - G2-4 (B) Always Below 1 Ω
      A24-26 (HDCS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G2-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).
