ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(for Type A), Diagnostic DTC:C1241

DTC Code DTC Name
C1241 Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits ABS operation. This DTC is stored when the +BS or IG1 terminal voltage meets one of the DTC detection conditions due to a malfunction in the power supply or charging circuit such as the battery or alternator circuit, etc. The DTC is cleared when the +BS or IG1 terminal voltage returns to normal.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1241 Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

Any of the following is detected:


  1. The vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and the +BS terminal voltage (soft low voltage) is less than 9.6 V for 1 second or more.

  2. The vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and the +BS or IG1 terminal voltage (hard low voltage) is less than 6.9 V for 1 second or more.

  3. The vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or more, the +BS terminal voltage is 9.6 V or more, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) turns on more than one valve at the same time within a short period of time and the valve relay supply voltage drop exceeds the threshold.*

  4. The +BS terminal voltage is less than 6.7 V and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) judges that power supply voltage is abnormal for 0.06 seconds or more.

  • ECU-IG NO. 1 fuse

  • ABS NO. 2 fuse

  • Battery

  • Charging system

  • Power source circuit

  • Ground circuit

  • Internal power supply circuit of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

*: The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) monitors the resistance of the power source line at the +BS terminal. A malfunction is detected when an abnormality occurs in the +BS terminal wire harness or its connection and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) determines that the wiring resistance at the +BS terminal exceeds the standard resistance.

      Tech Tips


      • Even if the resistance between the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and the engine room relay block and junction block assembly is normal, there may be an abnormality in the resistance of the wiring between the battery and the engine room relay block and junction block assembly. Therefore, be sure to inspect the circuit between the battery and the engine room relay block and junction block assembly before replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

      • If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing parts.
