Lexus ES: SLA Linear Solenoid (C1211,C1212,C1225,C1226)

Lexus ES (XZ10) Service Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Electronically Controlled Brake System (for Hv Model) / SLA Linear Solenoid (C1211,C1212,C1225,C1226)

DESCRIPTION

The linear solenoids SLA and SLR control the regulator based on signals from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and produce servo pressure in accordance with the vehicle condition.

When the system is normal, the switching solenoid SGH is opened to allow brake fluid to flow to the stroke simulator when the brake pedal is depressed. When the system is abnormal, the switching solenoid SGH closes to prevent the flow of brake fluid.

When the system is normal, the switching solenoid SSA is closed. When the system is abnormal, the switching solenoid SSA is opened to allow fluid to flow to the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly.

HINT:

If the supply voltage decreases, a drop in current may cause DTCs to be stored.
DTC C1225 indicates a malfunction related to solenoid SSA, and DTC C1226 indicates a malfunction related to solenoid SGH.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) monitors the drive voltage and current of the linear solenoids (SLA, SLR, SSA and SGH). Based on the monitored information, if any of the following abnormal conditions are detected, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.

A malfunction of the current monitor is detected.
Based on the duty cycle, the monitored current value is considerably low.
An open circuit is detected.
Based on the duty cycle, the monitored current value is considerably high.
A current leakage is detected.
When the monitored current value increases to a value that is not possible when normal.
