Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C146E; Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit; 2018 MY Camry [03/2017 - 06/2017]

DTC

C146E

Open in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ABS solenoid relay is built into the skid control ECU in the brake actuator assembly. The ABS solenoid relay supplies power to the ABS and TRAC solenoids. The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects an ABS solenoid relay malfunction by performing a self check and relay operation check.

DTC No.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

When C1241 and/or C1417 is output together with C146E, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241 and/or C1417 first.

for C1241: Click here 2018 MY Camry [03/2017 - 06/2017]; BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1241; Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (+BS 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 A33 skid control ECU (brake actuator 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:

2.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND1 TERMINAL)

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

Standard Resistance:

3.

RECONFIRM DTC

HINT:

  • This DTC is stored when a problem is identified in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
  • The solenoid circuits are located in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

    Therefore, solenoid circuit inspection and solenoid unit inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if the DTC is output again before replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

(a) Reconnect the A33 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(b) Clear the DTCs.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs

(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.

HINT:

  • The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) performs self diagnosis of the solenoid circuit after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
  • If the normal system code is output (no DTCs are output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harnesses, and fuses of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
  • If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.
  • If no DTCs were output when reconfirming DTCs, checking for intermittent problems is necessary because it is suspected that the original DTCs were stored due to the poor connection of a connector terminal.
