C146E

BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C146E: Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit
C146E - Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ABS solenoid relay is built into the skid control ECU in the brake actuator assembly.

The ABS solenoid relay supplies power to the ABS and TR(A)C solenoids.

The skid control ECU detects a solenoid relay malfunction by performing a self check and relay operation check.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT
When C1241 and/or C1417 is output together with C146E, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241 and/or C1417 first C1241, and/or C1417).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (+BS TERMINAL)

(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.





(b) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (+BS CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND1 TERMINAL)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND1 CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. RECONFIRM DTC

HINT
This DTC is stored when a problem is identified in the brake actuator assembly.

The solenoid circuits are located in the brake actuator assembly.

Therefore, solenoid circuit inspection and solenoid unit inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if the DTC is output again before replacing the brake actuator assembly.

(a) Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.

(b) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(c) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Start the engine.

(e) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 30 seconds or more.

(f) Check if the same DTC is output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





HINT
* The skid control ECU performs self diagnosis of the solenoid circuit after the ignition switch turned to ON.
* If the normal system code is output (No DTCs are output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harnesses, and fuses of the brake actuator assembly.
* If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.
* If no DTCs were output when reconfirming DTCs, checking for intermittent problems is necessary because it is suspected that the original DTCs were stored due to the poor connection of a connector terminal.
