Component Location
General Description
The pressure sensor is installed in the HECU(Hydraulic and Electronic Control Unit) in the purpose of sensing the driver's braking intention. This sensor has two circuit to measure the current pressure and one circuit to measure the brake oil's temperature. The HECU(Hydraulic and Electronic Control Unit) compares two signals of the pressure sensor and if it differs with normal range, the HECU(Hydraulic and Electronic Control Unit) would judge that the pressur sensor has a fault. The sensor's output is a analog siganl to be proportional to the supply voltage. The HECU(Hydraulic and Electronic Control Unit) measures the pressure value by the ratio of signal voltage to supply voltage. In a case of SCC(Smart Cruise Control) system applied, the two more pressure sensors is added to measure the brake oil's pressure of wheel.
DTC Description
The HECU monitors the signal of pressure sensor and if the signal offset of the pressure sensor/ the signal noises/ the difference between two signals increases above a certain value, this DTC is set.
DTC Detecting Condition
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
Case 1 | DTC Strategy | Signal offset monitoring
| Faulty pressure sensor(HECU)
|
Threshold value | when the absolute value of signal offset is above 8.0 bar
|
Fail-Safe | The ESP function is inhibited. The ESP warning lamp is activated.
|
Case 2 | DTC Strategy | Noise monitoring
|
Threshold value | when the total of signal noises is continuously above 195 mV
|
Fail-Safe | The BAS function is inhibited.
|
Case 3 | DTC Strategy | Signal monitoring
|
Threshold value | when the difference between two signals is continuously above a certain value
|
Fail-Safe | The ESP function is inhibited. The ESP warning lamp is activated.
