DTC C2100 Abnormality in battery voltage (low voltage)








CAUTION
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
^ Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
^ When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sensor.

OPERATION
^ The ASC-ECU is energized by the valve power supply circuit (terminal No.32). When the power is supplied from the ignition switch (IG1) to the IG1 relay in ETACS-ECU, IG1 relay is turned on. At this time, the valve power supply circuit (terminal No.8) energizes the ASC-ECU.
^ ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal No.2) for ASC-ECU. The power is supplied from the fusible link No.34 through the multi-purpose fuse No.17.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This DTC is set when the ASC-ECU power supply voltage drops below 9.7 ± 0.3 V during driving.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Battery failure
^ Battery terminal looseness
^ Fusible link malfunction
^ Charging system failed
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ ASC-ECU malfunction
