C1361

BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C0273, C0274, C1361: Open in ABS Motor Relay Circuit
C1361 - Short in ABS Motor Fail Safe 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration Programming and Relearning.
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT
When C1241 is output together with C0273, C0274 and/or C1361 inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241 first C1241.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ABS MOTOR RELAY)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Active Test.

(e) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(f) Check the operating sound of the ABS motor relay when operating it with the Techstream.

A -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (BM TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

(c) Check the connector case and terminals for deformation and corrosion.

Standard condition:

No deformation or corrosion.

(d) Disconnect the A16 skid control ECU connector.





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

Standard Voltage:

OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (GND TERMINAL)

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





Standard Resistance:

OK -- Continue to next step.

4. RECONFIRM DTC

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

The ABS motor relay is in the brake actuator assembly.

Therefore, ABS motor relay inspection and motor relay unit inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if the DTC is output before replacing the brake actuator assembly.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.

(c) Clear the DTC Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(d) Start the engine.

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

(f) Check if the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result





HINT
* If a speed signal of 6 km/h (4 mph) or more is input to the 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. 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.
* The DTCs were probably output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
