ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C146E, C146F

DTC Code DTC Name
C146E Open Circuit in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit
C146F Short Circuit in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ABS solenoid relay built into the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) supplies power to the holding solenoid and reduction solenoid.

The ABS solenoid relay is operated 1.5 seconds after the power switch is turned on (IG), and is turned off if an open or short in the ABS solenoid is detected during self-diagnosis when the vehicle starts driving.

DTC No. Detection Item INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Note

      Tech Tips


      • If a speed signal of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more is sent to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) with the power switch on (IG) and the stop light switch assembly off, the ECU performs self diagnosis of the motor and solenoid circuits.

      • If the normal system code is output (no DTCs are output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harness, and fuses of the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

      • If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness from the brake booster with master cylinder assembly, inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.

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