Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1241; Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction; 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]

DTC

C1241

Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

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 deviates from the DTC detection condition due to a malfunction in the power supply or charging circuit such as the battery or generator circuit, etc.

The DTC is canceled when the +BS terminal voltage returns to normal.

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

C1241

Any of the following is detected:

  1. When vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or more, +BS terminal voltage is continuously below 9.5 V for 10 seconds or more.
  2. When solenoid relay is on, +BS terminal voltage is below 9.5 V and relay contact is off for 0.22 seconds or more.
  3. When +BS terminal voltage is below 9.5 V, power supply voltage of vehicle speed sensor is continuously low for 60 seconds or more.
  4. When fail-safe motor relay is on and +BS terminal voltage is below 9.5 V, fail-safe motor relay overcurrent continues for 0.05 seconds or more.
  • Battery
  • Charging system
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration and store system information (See page 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: CALIBRATION ).
  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

INSPECT BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL

(a) Check the battery voltage.

Standard Voltage:

11 to 14 V

NG

CHECK OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM OR BATTERY

OK

2.

INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (+BS TERMINAL)

(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

(b) Disconnect the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

A75-38 (+BS) - Body ground

Ignition switch ON

11 to 14 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (+BS CIRCUIT)

OK

3.

INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (GND1 TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A75-25 (GND1) - Body ground

Always

Below 1 Ω

OK

4.

RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Reconnect the A75 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(b) Clear the DTCs (See page 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(c) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Start the engine.

(e) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 30 seconds or more.

(f) Check if the same DTC is output (See page 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

Result

Proceed to

DTC C1241 is not output.

A

DTC C1241 is output.

B

HINT:

If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step (See page 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE ).

A

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

B

REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
