DTC C2116: Abnormality in pump motor power supply voltage





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.


CIRCUIT OPERATION
^ ABS-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal No. 13) for the pump motor. The pump motor is energized by the motor switch, which is incorporated in ABS-ECU.
^ The pump motor switch, which is incorporated in ABS-ECU, is always off unless the ABS is operating or motor or solenoid valve check is activated when the vehicle is started.
^ ABS-ECU activates the pump motor by turning on the ECU built-in pump motor switch.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This diagnostic trouble codes will be set under the conditions below:
^ When the power supply voltage of the pump motor, which is not in operation, is abnormally low for a prolonged period
^ When the power supply voltage of the pump motor, which is not in operation, is abnormally high for a prolonged period

PROBABLE CAUSES

Current trouble
^ Fusible link malfunction
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ Abnormality in battery or generator
^ ABS-ECU malfunction

Past trouble
^ Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring harness and connector failures between the power supply circuit (A-03 ABS-ECU connector terminal No. 13) to the ABS-ECU motor and the ground circuit (A-03 ABS-ECU connector terminal No. 14).

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
^ MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
^ MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A
^ MB991974: ABS check harness

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the CAN bus lines. On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
Q: Is DTC C2116 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Fusible link check: Check fusible link No.26.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace fusible link No.26.

STEP 4. Battery check
Q: Is the battery in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Charge or replace the battery.

STEP 5. Charging system check
Q: Is the charging system in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Repair or replace the charging system component(s).

STEP 6. Voltage measurement at the A-03 ABS-ECU connector
1) Disconnect the connector, connect special tool MB991974 to the harness-side connector, and measure the voltage at the special tool connector side.

NOTE: Do not connect the special tool MB991974 to ABS-ECU.

2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.





3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 13 and body ground.
OK: Approximately battery voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 8.
NO: Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Connector check: A-03 ABS-ECU connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: An open or short circuit may be present in the solenoid valve power supply circuit. Repair the wiring harness between the A-03 ABS-ECU connector terminal No. 13 and fusible link No.26.
NO: Repair the defective connector.

STEP 8. Resistance measurement at A-03 ABS-ECU connector
1) Disconnect the connector, connect special tool MB991974 to the harness-side connector, and measure the resistance at the special tool connector side.

NOTE: Do not connect the special tool MB991974 to ABS-ECU.





2) Resistance between terminal No.1 and body ground, and between terminal No. 14 and body ground.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ohms or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 10.
NO: Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Connector check: A-03 ABS-ECU connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: An open circuit may be present in the ground circuit. Repair the wiring harness between the A-03 ABS-ECU terminal No.1 and body ground, and between the A-03 ABS-ECU terminal No. 14 and body ground.
NO: Repair the defective connector.

STEP 10. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is reset.
1) Erase the diagnostic trouble code.
2) Drive the vehicle at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more.

NOTE: The ABS warning light does not turn OFF in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.

Q: Is DTC C2116 set?
YES: Replace the ABS-ECU.
NO: Intermittent malfunction.
