DTC C146C: Open Circuit in ABS Motor Relay Circuit; DTC C146D: Short Circuit in ABS Motor Relay Circuit [10/2018 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus UX 250h, 2023 Lexus UX 250h, 2022 Lexus UX 250h, 2021 Lexus UX 250h, and 2020 Lexus UX 250h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ABS motor relay is built into the brake booster with master cylinder assembly.
During ABS, TRAC, VSC, brake hold, secondary collision brake or brake assist operation, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) turns on the ABS motor relay to run the pump motor in the brake actuator assembly.
When any DTC related to the ABS motor is stored, the IC built into the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) operates in fail-safe mode.
When the supplied voltage to the BM terminal of the ABS motor relay is excessively low due to an auxiliary battery or charging circuit malfunction, DTC C146C and/or C146D is stored.
