Master cylinder pressure sensor reading

Min.: 0.00 V, Max.: 5.00 V

Brake pedal released: 0.20 to 0.40 V

Reading increases when brake pedal is depressed

(c) Check that the value of the master cylinder pressure sensor observed on the Techstream changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

OK:

When the brake pedal is depressed, the voltage displayed on the Techstream increases.
