Toyota Corolla Cross: Brake Override System

DESCRIPTION

When the vehicle is being driven, depressing the accelerator pedal and brake pedal will activate the brake override system to restrict engine output. The conditions for activating the brake override system as well as the items that are controlled are explained below.

Activation Conditions:

• When the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed.

  NOTICE:

  The vehicle may not enter the brake override system control due to the relation of the accelerator pedal angle and the vehicle's speed.

Items Controlled:

• When the vehicle speed is extremely low, the accelerator opening value used when controlling the engine is reduced more than normal.

  HINT:

  During control, the Accelerator Position value in the Data List will be lower than normal.

• When the vehicle speed is not extremely low, the accelerator opening value is forcibly lowered to a fixed value.

  HINT:

  • During control, the Accelerator Position value in the Data List is forcibly reduced to a specified value regardless of the actual accelerator opening value (Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage %).
  • During brake override system control, the operation indicator is displayed on the meter.

Deactivation Conditions:

• When the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal returns to some degree.

Example:

Drive at 10 km/h (6.25 mph), depress the accelerator pedal by 1/2 to 3/4 and keep it in that position. Under these conditions, if the engine speed decreases to 1000 rpm when the brake pedal is depressed, then the brake override system has been activated.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

When carrying out the inspection, use a place where you are able to carry it out safely and also pay close attention to your surroundings.

Also, when driving make absolutely sure that all road traffic laws, such as speed limits, are observed.

HINT:

• Under normal conditions, the Accelerator Position value changes in response to the Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage % value. For more information on the numerical values, refer to the Data List.

• If the Accelerator Position and Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage % values in the Data List diverge and the Accelerator Position value in the Data List is fixed even though Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage % is changing, check that this control is activated (use the GTS data saving function to record data while driving the vehicle, and then confirm it after driving is completed).
• The brake override system restricts engine output if the brake pedal is depressed when driving with the accelerator pedal depressed. If a customer reports experiencing loss of torque after the accelerator and brake pedals have both been intentionally depressed, explain to the customer that this is not a malfunction, and that the customer should avoid depressing both the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time.

  Example: While operating the accelerator pedal, the customer uses their left foot to operate the brake pedal.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Enter the following menus: System Select / Health Check.

(b) Check the DTCs.

Result	Proceed to
DTCs are not output	A
DTCs are output	B

GO TO DTC CHART

A

2.	READ VALUE USING GTS (MASTER CYLINDER SENSOR 1)

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Read the value displayed on the GTS.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List

Tester Display
Master Cylinder Sensor 1

Standard:

-1.00 to 0.00 MPa (Brake pedal released).

(c) Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the "Master Cylinder Pressure" observed on the GTS changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

OK:

When the pedal is depressed, the pressure displayed on the GTS increases.

CHECK BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY

OK

3.	READ VALUE USING GTS (STOP LIGHT SW)

(a) Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Stop Light SW

OK:

GTS Display	Condition	Specified Condition
Stop Light SW	Brake pedal released	OFF
	Brake pedal depressed	ON

NG

INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

OK

4.	INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

(a) Inspect and adjust the brake pedal support assembly.

HINT:

If the stop light switch turns ON too late, the start of brake override system control may be delayed; if it turns ON too soon, brake override system control may begin too early, so conduct inspection of the brake pedal support assembly and stop light switch assembly.

REPAIR OR REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

OK

5.	READ VALUE USING GTS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR)

(a) Read the value displayed on the GTS.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage %
Accelerator Position Sensor No.2 Voltage %

OK:

GTS Display	Condition	Specified Condition
Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage %	Accelerator Pedal Released → Depressed → Released	Values smoothly change following accelerator pedal operation
Accelerator Position Sensor No.2 Voltage %

HINT:

For numerical values of Accelerator Position Sensor No.1 Voltage % and Accelerator Position Sensor No.2 Voltage %, refer to the Data List.

REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY

OK

6.	READ VALUE USING GTS (VEHICLE SPEED)

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Read the value displayed on the GTS.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Vehicle Speed

Standard:

GTS Display	Condition	Specified Condition
Vehicle Speed	Vehicle stopped, engine running	0 km/h (0 mph)
	Vehicle being driven at constant speed between 16.1 to 64.4 km/h (10 to 40 mph)	No large fluctuations when driving at a constant speed

CAUTION:

When performing a drive test, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT:

Data can be captured relatively easily by using the snapshot function in the Data List. Confirm the data after performing the drive test.

NG

GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM (SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

OK

7.	READ VALUE USING GTS (FR, FL, RR, RL WHEEL SPEED)

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Read the value displayed on the GTS.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List

Tester Display
FR Wheel Speed
FL Wheel Speed
RR Wheel Speed
RL Wheel Speed

Standard:

GTS Display	Condition	Specified Condition
FR Wheel Speed FL Wheel Speed RR Wheel Speed RL Wheel Speed	Vehicle stopped, engine running	0 km/h (0 mph)
	Vehicle being driven at constant speed between 16.1 to 64.4 km/h (10 to 40 mph)	No large fluctuations when driving at a constant speed

CAUTION:

When performing a drive test, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT:

Data can be captured relatively easily by using the snapshot function in the Data List. Confirm the data after performing the drive test.
