C1242

Open Circuit in IG1/IG2 Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) power source voltage drops, or there is insufficient voltage to operate the main relay, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) will store these DTCs.

If the auxiliary battery voltage is temporarily low, these DTCs may be stored.

HINT:

DTC C1256 (Accumulator Low Pressure) may also be memorized if there is a drop in power source voltage.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

C123B and C123E:

During normal operation, the voltage at IG1 and IG2 change mutually; however, if the voltages do not change mutually such as when IG1 is on and IG2 is off or when IG1 is off and IG2 is on, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that there is an open in the IG1 or IG2 circuit and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

C1241, C14DE and C14DB:

When the voltage at VM1, VM2, IG1, IG2 or BS drops due to a malfunction in the auxiliary battery and hybrid control system (charging circuit), the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) judges that there is a drop in the power supply and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
