Lexus ES: Open Circuit in Main Relay 1 (C1311,C1312)
DESCRIPTION
The main relay supplies power to the switching solenoid and the linear solenoid.
The main relay remains on for approximately 2 minutes after the power switch is turned off and the input of brake pedal operation signals stops, and supplies power to the system to keep it ready to operate.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1311 | Open Circuit in Main Relay 1 | 1 | Either of the following is detected:
|
| Comes on |
|
| C1312 | Short Circuit in Main Relay 1 | 2 | The BS terminal voltage is 3.5 V or more for 4.5 seconds or more, when operation of the main relay is requested. |
| Comes on |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) monitors the voltage at BS terminal.
When the main relay is instructed to be on and the voltage at BS terminal is within the range of an open circuit malfunction (voltage is practically equal to that when off), or when the main relay is instructed to be off and the voltage of the BS terminal is within the range of a short circuit malfunction (voltage is practically equal to that when on), an open circuit or short circuit is judged respectively and the MIL is illuminated and stores a DTC.
