Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Electronically Controlled Brake System(for Gasoline Model) / Brake Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

If any of the following is detected, the brake system warning light (red indicator) remains on:

  • The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector is disconnected from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
  • The brake fluid level is insufficient.
  • The vacuum inside the brake booster decreases.
  • EBD operation is not possible.
