DESCRIPTION
| DTC No. | Detection Item | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) monitors the ratio of output value of the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly and reaction force pressure sensor.
When in linear mode (switching solenoid (SSA) on), the brake pedal is being operated and the ratio of the output value of the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly and reaction force pressure sensor is outside the normal range, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the ratio of the output value of the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly and reaction force pressure sensor is abnormal and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Depress the brake pedal 1 or more times.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
-
Read the DTCs.
HINT:
- If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
-
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 brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) or brake pedal stroke sensor 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. | CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS (CHECK CONDITION WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURRED) AND FREEZE FRAME DATA |
(a) Interview the customer to check the vehicle conditions when the brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction) illuminated.
(b) Using the Techstream, read the "Shift Lever Position", "Vehicle Speed", "Yaw Rate Sensor", "Steering Angle Sensor", "Stop Light SW", "Stroke Sensor", "Reaction Force Pressure", "Servo Pressure" and "Accumulator Pressure" of the Freeze Frame Data stored when the DTC was stored.
HINT:
- Freeze Frame Data is only stored once when a DTC is stored.
- If other DTCs are output, repair any malfunctions related to those DTCs first, and then reproduce the conditions that caused DTC C14B6 to be stored based on the interview with the customer.

| 2. | INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR ASSEMBLY OUTPUT VOLTAGES AND WHEEL CYLINDER PRESSURE |
(a) Turn the power switch off.
(b) Mount a pedal effort gauge.
(c) Disconnect the A55 brake booster pump assembly connector.
(d) Depress the brake pedal 10 times or more until it becomes hard.
HINT:
Depressing the brake pedal with the connector of the brake booster pump assembly disconnected drops the accumulator pressure to approximately 0 MPa.
(e) Connect an LSPV gauge set.
(f) Select the Data List on the Techstream.
