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 ABS motor relay supplies power to the ABS pump motor. While the ABS is activated, the ECU turns the motor relay on and operates the ABS 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. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1361 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

  • ABS motor fail safe relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (ABS motor fail safe relay)

    • 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 less than 9.5 V.

    • Relay contact remains open when the relay is ON.


  • ABS NO. 1 fuse

  • ABS motor relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (ABS motor relay)

C146D When the motor relay is OFF, the motor relay remains closed for 4 seconds or more.
  • ABS motor relay circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (ABS motor relay)

Note


  • When replacing the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU), perform zero point calibration Click here.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

Tech Tips

When C1241 is output together with C146C, C146D and/or C1361 inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241 first Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ABS MOTOR RELAY)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Select the Active Test mode on the intelligent tester Click here.

  2. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (BM)


    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.

      Standard condition
      No deformation or corrosion.

      (to Brake actuator assembly (Skid control ECU))

      Disconnect the A54 or A56 brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) connector.

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

      Standard Voltage
      except LHD with CVT
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A54-24 (BM) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      for LHD with CVT
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A56-24 (BM) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
    6. Reconnect the A54 or A56 brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) connector.


    NG
    OK
  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND2)


    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.

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

      Standard Resistance
      except LHD with CVT
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A54-13 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A56-13 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    5. Reconnect the A54 or A56 brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU) connector.

    OK
  4. RECONFIRM DTC

    Tech Tips

    These codes are detected when a problem is determined in the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU).

    The solenoid circuits are in the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU).

    Therefore, solenoid circuit inspection and solenoid unit inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if any DTCs are output before replacing the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU).


    1. Clear the DTC Click here.

    2. Start the engine.

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

    4. Check if the same DTC is recorded Click here.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output (for LHD) B
      DTC is output (for RHD) C

      Tech Tips


      • If a speed signal of 6 km/h (4 mph) or more is input to the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU), 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 brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU). Make sure that no DTCs are output.

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

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