DTC C2101: Battery Voltage Malfunction (High Voltage)

BATTERY VOLTAGE SYSTEM CIRCUIT





CAUTION:
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
^ Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION
AWC-ECU power supply is provided from the battery via ETACS-ECU.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
The code is set when the AWC-ECU power supply voltage and solenoid valve power supply voltage are 18 V or more.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Loose battery terminal
^ Defective battery
^ Charging system failed
^ Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
^ Damaged harness wires and connectors
^ Malfunction of AWC-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the CAN bus lines. After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.

Q: Is DTC No. C2101 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Scan tool diagnostic trouble code
Check the ETACS diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is the DTC set?
YES: Perform the relevant troubleshooting.
NO: Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Battery terminal check
Check that the battery terminal is not loose.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Securely install the battery terminal. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the battery.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Charge or replace the battery. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the charging system.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Repair or replace the charging system component(s).

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-46 AWC-ECU connector
Measure the voltage between C-46 AWC-ECU connector terminal No. 12-and the body ground.
OK: Battery positive voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 11.
NO: Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. AWC-ECU connector, ETACS-ECU connector check: C-46, C-315

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 9.
NO: Repair the defective connector. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between C-46 AWC-ECU connector terminal No. 12 and C-315 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No. 4.
Check the wiring harness for short circuit (short to power supply).

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 10.
NO: Check C-41 intermediate connector, C-43 J/C (4), C-103 J/C (3). When no problem is found, repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 10. Scan tool service data
Item No. 43: Battery voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction.
NO: Replace the ETACS-ECU. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 11. Scan tool service data
Item No. 43: Battery voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction.
NO: Replace the AWC-ECU. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 12. Check whether the DTC is reset.

Q: Is DTC No. C2101 set?
YES: Return to Step 1.
NO: This diagnosis is complete.
