DESCRIPTION
The ABS motor relay is built into the brake booster with master cylinder assembly.
During ABS, TRAC, VSC, brake hold, secondary collision brake or brake assist operation, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) turns on the ABS motor relay to run the pump motor in the brake actuator assembly.
When any DTC related to the ABS motor is stored, the IC built into the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) operates in fail-safe mode.
When the supplied voltage to the BM terminal of the ABS motor relay is excessively low due to an auxiliary battery or charging circuit malfunction, DTC C146C and/or C146D is stored.
DTC No. | Detection Item | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C146C | Open Circuit in ABS Motor Relay Circuit | 612 | When operation of the ABS motor is requested, the ABS motor voltage is less than 7.6 V for 0.2 seconds or more. |
| Comes on |
|
C146D | Short Circuit in ABS Motor Relay Circuit | 613 | A short in the ABS motor relay drive circuit is detected for 4 seconds or more. |
| Comes on |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) monitors the voltage of the ABS motor.
When the ABS motor relay is instructed to be on and the voltage of the ABS motor is within the range of an open circuit malfunction, or when the ABS motor is instructed to be off and the voltage of the ABS motor is within the range of a short circuit malfunction, an open circuit or short circuit is judged respectively and the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.

PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BM TERMINAL) |
(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector. OK: The connector is securely connected. |
|
(b) Disconnect the A45 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector.
(c) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK:
No deformation or corrosion.
(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
A45-41 (BM) - Body ground | Always | 11 to 14 V |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BM CIRCUIT) |

(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
OK:
The connector is securely connected.
(b) Disconnect the A54 brake actuator assembly connector.
(c) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
