Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor Inspection

  1. Switch the ignition to off.
  2. Install the SSTs  to the master cylinder (secondary side) as shown in the figure.
    NOTE:
    • When installing the SST  (49 D043 0A0) to the master cylinder, use a commercially available flare nut wrench (flare nut across flat 12 mm {0.47 in}). 
  3. Bleed the brake line and the SSTs  of air. (Bleed the SSTs  of air using air bleed valve A).

  4. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  5. Select the "MCYLI_P" PID. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)] ).
  6. Start the engine.
  7. Depress the brake pedal, and verify that the fluid pressure value of the SST  (gauge) and the value shown on the M-MDS are equal.
    • If the fluid pressure values are different, replace the DSC HU/CM. (See DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
