Lexus ES: ABS Warning Light Remains ON
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.
If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on:
- The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector is disconnected from the brake booster with master cylinder assembly.
- There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) internal circuit.
- There is an open in the wire harness between the combination meter assembly and the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).
- The ABS control system is defective.
HINT:
In some cases, the Techstream cannot be used when the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) is malfunctioning.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
After replacing the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), perform linear solenoid valve offset learning, ABS holding solenoid valve learning, yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration and system information memorization after performing "Reset Memory".

| 2. | CHECK IF BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED |
(a) Check if the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector is securely connected.
OK:
The connector is securely connected.
| NG | | CONNECT CONNECTOR TO BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY CORRECTLY |
|
| 3. | CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY |
(a) Check the auxiliary battery voltage.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Auxiliary battery | Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| Auxiliary battery | Power switch on (READY) | 11 to 15.5 V |
| NG | | CHARGE OR REPLACE AUXILIARY BATTERY |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG1 TERMINAL) |
| (a) Turn the power switch off. |
|
(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
OK:
The connector is securely connected.
(c) Disconnect the A45 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector.
(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK:
No deformation or corrosion.
(e) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(f) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A45-23 (IG1) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (IG1 CIRCUIT) |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND TERMINAL) |
| (a) Turn the power switch off. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A45-26 (GND1) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A45-39 (GND2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND CIRCUIT) |
|
| 6. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ABS WARNING LIGHT) |
(a) Reconnect the A45 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector.
(b) Select the Data List on the Techstream.
