Monitor Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2023 Lexus ES 300h, 2022 Lexus ES 300h, 2021 Lexus ES 300h, and 2020 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) monitors the voltage of the ABS motor. When the ABS motor is normal and the ABS motor relay is turned off, the voltage of the ABS motor drops gradually due to rotational inertia; however, if the ABS motor is not turning and the ABS motor relay is turned off, the voltage of the ABS motor drops immediately. If the voltage of the ABS motor drops considerably quickly when the ABS motor relay is turned off, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that the ABS motor is not operating and illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
