Lexus NX: Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor (C1246,C1281,C1364)

Lexus NX Service Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Electronically Controlled Brake System / Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor (C1246,C1281,C1364)

DESCRIPTION

The regulator pressure sensor and wheel cylinder pressure sensor are built into the brake actuator. They measure their respective pressures and send signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

DTC C1281 will be cleared when the regulator pressure sensor sends a regulator pressure signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1281 is output only in Test Mode.

DTC No.
