DTC C2101: Abnormality in battery voltage (high 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.


CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ABS-ECU is energized by the valve power supply circuit (terminal No.26).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.26) energizes the ABS-ECU.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This DTC is set when the ABS-ECU power supply voltage is more than 18.0 ± 1.0 volts.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Battery failure
^ ABS-ECU malfunction
^ Charging system failed
