DTC C146E: Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit; DTC C146F: Short in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit [12/2017 - 09/2018]: Description

These DTCs are stored when a problem is identified in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

The ABS solenoid relay is housed in the skid control ECU in the brake actuator assembly.

The ABS solenoid relay supplies power to the ABS solenoid and TRAC solenoid.

The solenoid relay is turned on 1.5 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), and is turned off if an open or short in the solenoid is detected by self diagnosis performed when the vehicle is starting off.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Note
C146E Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit Either of the following is detected:
  • When voltage at terminal +BS is 9.5 V or higher and solenoid relay is ON, relay contact is OFF continuously for 0.22 seconds or more.
  • When solenoid relay is turned on and voltage at +BS terminal is below 9.5 V, relay contact does not turn on after 0.22 seconds or more.
  • VSC NO. 2 fuse
  • Wire harness or connector
