DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

C1251

There is an open in the motor system circuit (motor input circuit).

  • Pump motor wire harness connection
  • Brake booster with accumulator pump assembly
  • Master cylinder solenoid (Skid control ECU)
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform calibration (See page ).


HINT:

Remove the hydraulic brake booster assembly before the inspection (See page ).


PROCEDURE
  1. CHECK CONNECTION OF PUMP MOTOR WIRE HARNESS

(a) Remove the hydraulic brake booster assembly (See page ).


(b) Check the tightening torque of the 2 screws which secure the wire harness connecting the master cylinder solenoid and brake booster with accumulator pump assembly (See page ).


OK:

The harness is tightened to the specified torque.

Torque:

2,9 N·m {30 kgf·cm, 26 in·lbf}
