Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the ABS & TRACTION actuator assy, perform zero point calibration (see CALIBRATION  ).

HINT:

When C1241/41 is output along with C0278/11, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241/41 first (see DTC C1241/41 LOW BATTERY POSITIVE VOLTAGE  ).

  1. INSPECT FUSE (ABS/VSC NO. 2 FUSE) 
    1. Remove the ABS/VSC No. 2 fuse from the engine room R/B.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard: 

    ABS/VSC NO. 2 FUSE RESISTANCE

    ABS/VSC No. 2 fuse Below 1 Ω (Continuity)
    1. NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND CONNECTOR CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (+BS TERMINAL VOLTAGE AND GND CIRCUIT) 
    1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION - VOLTAGE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A34-31 (+BS) - Body ground Always 10 to 14 V
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. (See Fig 2)

    Standard: 

    TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION - RESISTANCE

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    A34-32 (GND1) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (+BS, GND1 CIRCUIT) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  3. RECONFIRM DTC (SEE  DTC CHECK/CLEAR   ) 
    1. Clear the DTC.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Check that the same DTC is recorded.

    HINT:

    Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior conditions before rechecking for DTCs.

    Result: 

    RESULT

    DTC is not output A
    DTC is output B

    HINT:

    • If the normal system code is output (the malfunction code is not output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harnesses, and fuses of the ABS & TRACTION actuator assy. Make sure that no DTCs are output.
    • If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness of the ABS & TRACTION actuator (skid control ECU), inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.
    1. B: REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (SEE  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. A: END 

    HINT:

    It is suspected that the DTCs were output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
