| 2. | INSPECT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY |
(a) With a sufficient level of brake fluid, disconnect the A45 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector and confirm that the brake warning light illuminates.
OK:
The brake warning light does not turn off.
HINT:
If the brake warning light turns off, there is a short in the brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) circuit.

| 3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Turn the engine switch off.
(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.
OK:
The connector is securely connected.
(c) Disconnect the J10 combination meter assembly connector.
(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK:
No deformation or corrosion.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| J10-17 (SW) or A45-1 (+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 4. | INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY |
(a) Reconnect the J10 combination meter assembly connector.
(b) Reconnect the A45 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical /Combination Meter / Active Test.
(f) Perform the Active Test of the combination meter assembly using the Techstream.
Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test| Tester Display |
|---|
| Indicat. Lamp Brake |
(g) Check the combination meter assembly.
OK:
The brake warning light turns on or off in accordance with Techstream operation.
| NG | | INSPECT METER / GAUGE SYSTEM |
|
| 5. | INSPECT VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY |
(a) Reconnect the A45 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
(b) Reconnect the A35 vacuum warning switch assembly connector.
(c) Reconnect the J10 combination meter assembly connector.
(d) Inspect the vacuum warning switch assembly.

OK:
The vacuum warning switch assembly is normal.
| NG | | REPLACE VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY |
|
| 6. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - VACUUM WARNING SWITCH ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the A45 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
(b) Disconnect the A35 vacuum warning switch assembly connector.
(c) Disconnect the J10 combination meter assembly connector.
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| J10-23 (IND) - A35-2 (+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| J10-23 (IND) or A35-2 (+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| A35-1 (E) - Body ground | 1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal | Below 1 Ω |
| OK | | REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
