Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Toyota Avalon, 2021 Toyota Avalon, 2020 Toyota Avalon, and 2019 Toyota Avalon. 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.
