C146E





BRAKE CONTROL: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C146E, C146F: Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit
C146F - Short in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The solenoid relay supplies power to the ABS solenoid and TRAC solenoid.

After the ignition switch is turned to ON, the vehicle speed has reached 6 km/h (4 mph) and the solenoid is determined to be normal by the initial check self- diagnosis, the relay switches on. If any open or short circuits are detected, the relay switches off.

These DTCs may be set if the voltage supply to the solenoid relay (+BS) falls below the DTC detection threshold due to the battery or generator outputs being insufficient.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform zero point calibration Calibration.
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (+BS TERMINAL)

(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.





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

Standard Voltage:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (GND TERMINAL)

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





Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. RECONFIRM DTC

HINT
These codes are stored when a problem is detected in the master cylinder solenoid.

The solenoid relay is in the master cylinder solenoid. Therefore, solenoid relay circuit inspections and relay unit inspections cannot be performed. Be sure to check if any DTC is output before replacing the master cylinder solenoid.

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

(b) Drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 32 km/h (20 mph) or more for 60 seconds or more.

(c) Check if the same DTCs are output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
