Component Inspection

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn ON.
4. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as follows.

   NOTE:

   • To avoid the influence of intake manifold vacuum, check the voltage 1 or more minutes past after engine is stopped.
   • Because the sensor is absolute pressure sensor, output value may differ depends on atmospheric pressure and altitude.
5. Measure the atmospheric pressure.
   NOTE: As the atmospheric pressure described on the synoptic chart is the value at sea level, compensate the pressure with the following chart.
   COMPENSATED PRESSURE SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Altitude	Compensated pressure
   0m	0hPa
   200m	-24hPa
   400m	-47hPa
   600m	-70hPa
   800m	-92hPa
   1000m	-114hPa
   1500m	-168hPa
   2000m	-218hPa

6. Check the manifold absolute pressure sensor value corresponding to the atmospheric pressure.
   TERMINALS VOLTAGE REFERENCE
   
   

   Atmospheric pressure	Voltage
   800hPa	3.1 - 3.7V
   850hPa	3.3 - 3.9V
   900hPa	3.5 - 4.1V
   950hPa	3.8 - 4.3V
   1000hPa	4.0 - 4.6V
   1050hPa	4.2 - 4.8V

Is the inspection result normal? 

YES: GO TO 2.

NO: Replace brake booster pressure sensor.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove brake booster pressure sensor with its harness connected.
3. Connect the hose of vacuum pump (A) to brake booster pressure sensor (1).

6. Check that the difference of the voltage when engine is stopped and that when negative pressure is applied with vacuum pump is within the following limits.

   Vacuum	Voltage difference
   -40kPa(-300mmHg)	1.5 - 2.0V
   -53.3kPa(-400mmHg)	2.0 - 2.6V
   -66.7kPa(-500mmHg)	2.6 - 3.2V
   -80kPa(-600mmHg)	3.2 - 3.8V

Is the inspection result normal? 

YES: INSPECTION END

NO: Replace brake booster pressure sensor.
