Toyota CH-R Service Manual: Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1241)

Toyota CH-R Service Manual / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System / Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1241)

DESCRIPTION

If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits ABS operation. This DTC is stored when the +BS terminal voltage meets one of the DTC detection conditions due to a malfunction in the power supply or charging circuit such as the battery or alternator circuit, etc. The DTC is cleared when the +BS terminal voltage returns to normal.

DTC No.

Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

Any of the following is detected:

  • The vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and the +BS terminal voltage (soft low voltage) is less than 9.6 V for 1 second or more.
  • The vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and the +BS terminal voltage (hard low voltage) is less than 6.9 V for 1 second or more.
  • The vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or more, the +BS terminal voltage is 9.6 V or more, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) turns on more than one valve at the same time within a short period of time and the valve relay supply voltage drop exceeds the threshold.*
  • The +BS terminal voltage is less than 6.7 V and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) judges that power supply voltage is abnormal for 0.06 seconds or more.
  • ABS-MAIN fuse
  • Battery
  • Charging system
  • Power source circuit
  • Ground circuit
  • Internal power supply circuit of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

*: The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) monitors the resistance of the power source line at the +BS terminal. A malfunction is detected when an abnormality occurs in the +BS terminal wire harness or its connection and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) determines that the wiring resistance at the +BS terminal exceeds the standard resistance.
