VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1361, C146C, C146D

DTC Code DTC Name
C1361 Short in ABS Motor Fail Safe Relay Circuit
C146C Open in ABS Motor Relay Circuit
C146D Short in ABS Motor Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The motor relay supplies power to the pump motor. While the ABS is activated, the ECU turns the motor relay on and operates the pump motor.

If the voltage supplied to the motor relay (BM) is below the DTC's detection threshold due to low voltage from the battery or generator, the DTC may be stored.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1361 Short in ABS Motor Fail Safe Relay Circuit Immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the relay contact is closed for 4 seconds when the motor fail safe relay is OFF.

  • ABS NO. 1 fuse

  • Motor fail safe relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (Motor fail safe relay)
C146C Open in ABS Motor Relay Circuit

When either of the following is detected:


  1. All of the following conditions continue for 0.12 seconds or more.


    • The IG1 terminal voltage is between 9.5 and 17.4 V.

    • While initial check and ABS, BA, TRC/TRAC or VSC is operating.

    • Relay contact is open when the relay is ON.

  2. Both of the following conditions continue for 0.12 seconds.


    • The IG1 terminal voltage is 9.5 V or higher.

    • Relay contact remains open when the relay is ON.

  • ABS NO. 1 fuse

  • Motor relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (Motor relay)
C146D Short in ABS Motor Relay Circuit When the motor relay is OFF, the motor relay remains closed for 4 seconds or more.

  • Motor relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (Motor relay)

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (MOTOR RELAY)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Active Test.

    5. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

  2. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (BM TERMINAL)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

    3. Check the connector case and terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK
      No deformation or corrosion.

  4. RECONFIRM DTC

    Tech Tips

    These codes are stored when a problem is identified in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). The motor relay is in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). Therefore, motor relay inspections and motor relay unit inspections cannot be performed. Be sure to check if any DTCs are output before replacing the brake actuator assembly.


    1. Reconnect the A64 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

    2. Clear the DTC.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Clear DTCs

    3. Start the engine.

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

    5. Check if the same DTC is recorded.

      DTC is output

      Tech Tips


      • If a speed signal of 6 km/h (4 mph) or more is input to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), with the ignition switch ON and the stop light switch off, the ECU performs self diagnosis of the motor and solenoid circuits.

      • If the normal system code is output (the trouble code is not output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harness, and fuses of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). Make sure that no DTCs are output.

      • If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.

      • The DTCs were probably output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
