Toyota Corolla Cross: Electronic Brake Booster Control Module "A" System Internal Failure (C121F04,C14C9A3)

DESCRIPTION

If there is a malfunction in the power source circuit, the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) stores a DTC, and ABS, brake assist, regenerative braking, etc. operation is prohibited by fail-safe control.

When a malfunction in the auxiliary battery, charging circuit, etc. results in a voltage differential between the +BS terminal and the internal circuit terminal of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), this DTC is stored.

When the voltage between the +BS terminal and the internal circuit terminal of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) returns to normal, this DTC is cleared.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

• When the electronically controlled brake system is starting, operating or shutting down and an ECU internal malfunction is detected, the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

• When the electronically controlled brake system is operating or shutting down, the motor is not operating, the supply voltage of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) exceeds a certain value and the difference between the supply voltage of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and the voltage of the motor drive circuit exceeds a certain value, the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

• When the electronically controlled brake system is operating or shutting down, the motor is not operating, the motor drive circuit voltage is less than a certain value, and the difference between the supply voltage of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and voltage of the motor drive circuit exceeds a certain value, the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

• When the electronically controlled brake system is operating and the power supply voltage of the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) exceeds a certain value, the electric brake booster (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

NOTICE:

When performing the normal judgment procedure, make sure that the driver door is closed and is not opened at any time during the procedure.

HINT:

• After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
• When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
4. Turn the ignition switch off.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and turn the GTS on.
6. Wait for 1 second or more. [*]

   HINT:

   [*]: Normal judgment procedure.

   The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

7. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake Booster / Utility / All Readiness.
8. Check the DTC judgment result.

   HINT:

   • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
   • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
   • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform driving pattern again.
