Hazard
The engine control unit (ECU) program that regulates engine speed during cold starts in the brake booster mechanism of the braking system is inappropriate. Immediately after starting, insufficient negative pressure is generated in the booster mechanism, resulting in insufficient brake assist force. Therefore, when the brake pedal is depressed, there is a risk that braking force may be insufficient.
