Electronically Controlled Brake System (Diagnostics - Introduction) (Base): Other Toyota Prius Plug-in

PRECAUTION

1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS When there is a malfunction with terminal contact points or part installation problems, removal and installation of the suspected problem parts may return the system to the normal condition either completely or temporarily. In order to determine the malfunctioning area, be sure to check the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred, such as DTC output and the Freeze Frame Data, and record it before disconnecting each connector or removing and installing parts. Since the system may be influenced by malfunctions in systems other than the brake control system, be sure to check for DTCs in other systems.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Do not remove or install electronically controlled brake system parts such as the steering angle sensor, yaw rate and acceleration sensor or brake pedal stroke sensor except when required, as they cannot be adjusted correctly after removal or installation. Be sure to perform preparation before work and confirmation after work is completed by following the directions in the repair information when working on the electronically controlled brake system. Be sure that the power switch is off when removing and installing the ECU, actuator, each sensor, etc. unless it is specified otherwise in the inspection procedure. If the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU and brake actuator) or a sensor has been removed and installed, it is necessary to check the system for problems after the parts have been reassembled. Check for DTCs using the Techstream, also check that system functions and signals received by the ECU are normal using Test Mode. If the brake pedal is depressed before the brake control system is prepared to operate, the pedal stroke may seem unusually long or short. This is due to the fact the stroke simulator cut solenoid has not yet operated and is not a malfunction. After the power switch is turned on (IG) or the brake pedal is depressed twice or more, the stroke simulator will operate and the brake pedal stroke will remain consistent.
3. DTC PRECAUTION Warnings for some DTCs cannot be cleared only by repairing the malfunctioning parts. If the warning is displayed even after repair work, the DTC should be cleared after turning the power switch off. NOTE: If a DTC part is still malfunctioning even after the DTC is cleared, the DTC will be stored again.
4. CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER PRECAUTION Enter Inspection Mode to disable TRAC and VSC control when using a chassis dynamometer. Refer to «INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE»(ref-551389-S33941292062013051500000) . NOTE: Make sure that the slip indicator lights blink (Inspection Mode is activated). Secure the vehicle with a lock chain for safety.
5. CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS The CAN communication system is used for the data communication between the skid control ECU, the steering angle sensor, yaw rate and acceleration sensor and other ECUs. If there are any problems in the CAN communication line, corresponding DTCs in the communication line are stored. If any CAN communication line DTCs are output, repair the malfunction in the communication line and troubleshoot the electronically controlled brake system when data communication is normal. In order to enable CAN communication, a specific type of wiring is used for the CAN communication lines. The wiring used for each communication line is a twisted pair of wires that have an equal length. A bypass wire should not be used, because the data being transmitted will be corrupted.

FREEZE FRAME DATA

1. FREEZE FRAME DATA/INFORMATION Whenever an ABS, VSC, electronically controlled brake system DTC is detected, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle (sensor) state as Freeze Frame Data. The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the power switch has been turned from off to on (IG) since the last time the ABS was activated. For DTCs stored in the skid control ECU, information (INF) codes that are contained in the Freeze Frame Data can be displayed on the Techstream. HINT: However, if the vehicle is stopped or at a low speed (7 km/h (4.3 mph) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will stop counting the number of times the power switch has been turned from off to on (IG). Freeze Frame Data at the time the ABS operates: The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates. When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored during ABS operation is cleared. Freeze Frame Data at the time a DTC is detected: When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until the data is cleared.
2. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA AND INFORMATION Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes. According to the display on the Techstream, select the trouble code data display with Freeze Frame Data. Read the Freeze Frame Data recorded when the DTC was set. Read the information. Select the item that has an information (INF) code from the Freeze Frame Data screen.

Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs and Freeze Frame Data. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-551398-S17699156162013051500000) .

FAIL-SAFE CHART

1. FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION OF CONTROL SYSTEM When a malfunction is detected in the brake control system, the skid control ECU turns the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights come on, as well as prohibits ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC operations. If the skid control ECU detects that a system related to the hybrid control system is malfunctioning, it will prohibit operation of the TRAC and VSC system in order to prevent further malfunctions and to protect the system. Item Operation Malfunction in the ABS system ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited Malfunction in the BA system ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited Malfunction in the EBD system ABS, EBD, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited Malfunction in the TRAC system ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited Malfunction in the VSC system ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited
2. FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM If a malfunction is detected in the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU or brake actuator) or an individual sensor, control will be stopped and brake effort will be generated by the brake booster with master cylinder (hydraulic brake booster). If brake control is stopped due to a malfunction in the hydraulic pressure source, the pressure generated in the master cylinder by the driver is applied to the wheel cylinders to ensure braking force. Item Operation Skid control ECU malfunction Brake booster with master cylinder (hydraulic brake booster) generated braking force Hydraulic pressure controlling components malfunction Brake booster with master cylinder (hydraulic brake booster) generated braking force Power supply components (Hydraulic pressure source) malfunction Braking force solely generated by the driver
