Hazard

The control program of the EV ECU that controls the brake vacuum electric pump supplying negative pressure to the brake booster is inappropriate, which may cause erroneous detection of relay contact stiction. This causes the brake warning light to illuminate and a warning sound to emit while the brake vacuum electric pump stops, potentially resulting in increased braking distance if the vehicle is operated in this condition.

ブレーキ倍力装置に負圧を供給するブレーキ負圧電動ポンプを制御するEV ECUの 制御プログラムが不適切なため、リレー接点が固着したと誤判定する場合がある。そのため、ブレーキ警告灯が点灯するとともに警告音が鳴り、ブレーキ負圧電動ポンプが停止し、そのままの状態で使用すると制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Reprogram the EV ECU with the corrective software for all vehicles.
