DTC C1378: Capacitor Communication Malfunction [10/2020 - 10/2023]: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG1 TERMINAL) 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
    2. Disconnect the L101 brake control power supply with bracket assembly connector.
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L101-3 (IG1) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (IG1 CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND TERMINAL) 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L101-8 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY - BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY WITH BRACKET ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.
    2. Disconnect the A11 and A12 skid control ECU assembly connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A11-20 (ENA) - L101-2 (ENA) Always Below 1 Ω
      A11-20 (ENA) or L101-2 (ENA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A12-30 (FAIL) - L101-7 (FAIL) Always Below 1 Ω
      A12-30 (FAIL) or L101-7 (FAIL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Reconnect the A11 and A12 skid control ECU assembly connectors.
    2. Reconnect the L101 brake control power supply with bracket assembly connector.
    3. Clear the DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2020 - 10/2023]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs 

    4. Turn the power switch off.
    5. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    6. Check if the same DTC is output.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2020 - 10/2023]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1378 is output. A
      DTC C1378 is not output. B

    Result: 

    B 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2020 - 11/2021]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2021 - 10/2022]  , or refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2022 - 10/2023] 

    Result: 

    A 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA 
    1. Check the INF code from the Freeze Frame Data stored when DTC (C1378) was stored.

      Refer to FREEZE FRAME DATA [10/2020 - 10/2023]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > DTC (C1378) > Freeze Frame Data 

      Tester Display
      Detailed Freeze DTC

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      INF code 112 is output. A
      INF code 112 is not output. B

    Result: 

    A 

    REPLACE BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY WITH BRACKET ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2020 - 10/2022]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - 10/2023] 

    Result: 

    B
