NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000010123116

Symptom

Result

The brake pedal may move during braking.

This occurs when the electrically-driven 
intelligent brake unit is operating normally 
and is not a malfunction.

When the brake pedal is depressed while the power switch is OFF, an operating sound may 
occur or the pedal stroke may feel short.

There may be an operating noise or the brake pedal may move after the brake pedal is op-
erated.

An operating noise may occur when the power switch is turned OFF (system stop sound).

The brake pedal may move when ABS is activated immediately after the READY state of 
the vehicle.

After turning the power switch OFF and waiting for a few minutes in the car (with all doors 
closed and brake pedal not depressed), the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit goes 
into sleep mode. If the brake pedal is depressed after the unit goes into sleep mode, the 
brake pedal operation may be felt awkward or the depth of pedal depression insufficient for 
a little while.

This is not a malfunction. Depress the 
brake pedal fully.
