DTC Code DTC Name
C0278/11 Open or Short Circuit in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit
Click here

DESCRIPTION

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

The solenoid relay is turned on 1.5 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), and is turned off if an open or short in the solenoid is detected by self diagnosis performed when the vehicle starts running.

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

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C0278/11

When either of the following is detected:


  1. 3 or more solenoid valves are determined to be fault and voltage supplied to the solenoid to be fault at the same time.

  2. Solenoid valve relay is not turned off.

  • ABS NO. 2 fuse

  • ABS solenoid relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (ABS solenoid relay)

    INSPECT ABS NO. 2 FUSE


    1. A01CAUTE04

      Remove the ABS NO. 2 fuse from the engine room relay block.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      ABS NO. 2 (30 A) fuse Always Below 1 Ω

    INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (+BS TERMINAL)


    1. A01CFJZE48

      Install the ABS NO. 2 fuse.

    2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A10-3 (+BS) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V

    INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (GND TERMINAL)


    1. A01CFJZE47

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A10-4 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      A10-1 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    RECONFIRM DTC

    Tip:

    This code is detected when a problem is identified in the brake actuator assembly.

    The solenoid circuit is 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 before replacing the brake actuator assembly.


    1. Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.

    2. Clear the DTCs (Click here).

    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 (Click here).

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC (C0278/11) is not output A
      DTC (C0278/11) is output B
      Tip:

      • If a speed signal of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more is input to the skid control ECU, with the engine switch on (IG) 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 harnesses, and fuses of the brake actuator assembly. Make sure that no DTCs are output.

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

      • It is suspected that the DTCs were output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
