BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATION OR OPERATION SOUND OCCURS
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222665
Brake pedal vibrates and motor sound from ABS actuat or and electric unit (control unit) occurs, when the
engine starts.
Brake pedal vibrates during braking.
CAUTION:
Vibration may be felt during brake pedal is lightly de pressed (just placing a foot on it) in the following
conditions. This is normal.
When shifting gears
When driving on slippery road
During cornering at high speed
When passing over bumps or grooves [Approx. 50 mm (1.97 in) or more]
When pulling away just after starting engine [at approx. 10 km/h (6.2 MPH) or higher]
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006222666
1.CHECK SYMPTON 1
Depress the brake pedal 10 times or more with the engine stopped and decrease the accumulator pressure to
check that there are pedal vibrations when the engine is started.
Do vibrations occur?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Check brake pedal. Refer to BR-21, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
2.CHECK SYMPTON 2
Depress the brake pedal 10 times or more with the engine stopped and decrease the accumulator pressure to
check that motor noise from ABS actuator and electr ic unit (control unit) occurs when the engine starts.
Does the operation sound occur?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Perform self-diagnosis for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.
3.CHECK SYMPTON 3
Check symptoms when electrical component (headlamps, etc.) switches are operated.
Does the symptom occur?
YES >> Check that radio (including wiring), antenna and antenna lead-in wires are not located near ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Move them if they are located near ABS actuator and elec-
tric unit (control unit).
NO >> Normal
