35 -SERVICE BRAKES > 35C-ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC) > TROUBLESHOOTING<ASC-ECU><ASC-ECU> > DIAGNOSIS CODE PROCEDURES > CODE NO. C121E: ABNORMALITY IN BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL
Code No. C121E Brake fluid pressure sensor
 
 
caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
 
 
OPERATION
The hydraulic sensor is incorporated in the hydraulic unit. When the brake pedal is depressed, the pressure sensor detects the brake pressure applied from the master cylinder, converts this pressure into the voltage signal, and outputs it.
 
 
 
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis codes will be set under the cases below:
  • When the pressure sensor offset is not within the standard value range
  • When the estimated pressure sensor temperature is not normal
 
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Incorrect adjustment of brake pedal height
  • Master cylinder malfunction
  • Brake booster malfunction
  • Incorrect installation position of stop lamp switch
  • Malfunction of the stop lamp switch
  • Brake drag
  • ASC-ECU malfunction
 
 
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. M.U.T.-IIISE CAN bus diagnosis
Use M.U.T.-IIISE to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Is diagnosis code No. C121E set?
Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.
 
STEP 3. Brake pedal check
Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Go to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment .
 
STEP 4. Check for stop lamp switch installation
Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Install the stop lamp switch correctly (Refer to GROUP 35A - Brake Pedal ).
 
STEP 5. Stop lamp switch continuity check
Refer to GROUP 35A - Brake Pedal/ inspection .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Replace the stop lamp switch (Refer to GROUP 35A -Brake Pedal ).
 
STEP 6. Brake drag check
Check the brake system for drag (Refer to GROUP 35A - Front Disc Brake <Vehicles with 1-piston ventilate front disc brake (Front)>, <Vehicles with 2-piston ventilate front disc brake (Front)> or Rear Disc Brake <Vehicles without electric parking brake>, <Vehicles with electric parking brake>).
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Repair it.
 
STEP 7. Brake booster check
Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service/Brake Booster Operation Check .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Replace the brake booster (Refer to GROUP 35A - Master Cylinder Assembly and Brake Booster <LHD> or <RHD>).
 
STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.
Erase the diagnosis code.
Is diagnosis code No. C121E set?
Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ).
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
