Lexus ES: Reaction Force Pressure Sensor Zero Point Malfunction (C14B3)

DESCRIPTION

The reaction force pressure sensor detects and outputs the brake fluid pressure of the stroke simulator, which changes in accordance with brake pedal operation, to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

DTC No.

C14B3

Reaction Force Pressure Sensor Zero Point Malfunction

204

When the brake pedal is not depressed, the reaction force pressure sensor output value is -0.63 MPa (-6.4 kgf/cm2, -91.4 psi) or less or 1.53 MPa (15.6 kgf/cm2, 222 psi) or more for 3 seconds or more.

Skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

Comes on

  • INF Code 204: SAE Code C14B3
  • Electronically controlled brake system DTC

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the brake pedal is not operated and the value of the reaction force pressure sensor exceeds a specific value, or the value is less than a specific value for a certain amount of time, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the zero point of the reaction force pressure sensor is abnormal 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. Wait 3 seconds.
  9. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
  10. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. 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".

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK BRAKE PEDAL

(a) Check that the brake pedal and the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly are properly installed and that the pedal can be depressed normally.

(b) Check and adjust the brake pedal height.

Reaction Force Pressure

(b) Check that the reaction force pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa when the brake pedal is not depressed.

OK:

The reaction force pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa.

HINT:

If the reaction force pressure sensor output value is within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) automatically performs zero point calibration every time the power switch is turned on (IG).

Therefore, if the reaction force pressure sensor output value is not within 0.00 to 1.53 MPa, replace the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) with a new one.

3.

RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Click here

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the power switch off.

(c) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(d) Check if the same DTC is output.

Click here

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes

HINT:

Even if the DTC is cleared, it will immediately be output again if the reaction force pressure sensor zero point malfunction remains.
