Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster): C137BA3; Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage System Voltage High; 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [12/2021 -        ]

DTC

C137BA3

Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage System Voltage High

DESCRIPTION

If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits operation of ABS, brake assist, regenerative brake cooperative control, etc.

This DTC is stored when the +BS terminal voltage deviates due to a malfunction in the power supply or charging circuit such as the auxiliary battery or DC/DC converter circuit, etc.

This DTC is cleared when the voltage at terminal +BS returns to normal.

DTC No.

Note

C137BA3

Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage System Voltage High

The +BS terminal voltage is higher than 17.4 V for 0.8 seconds or more.

  • Wire harness and connector
  • No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

Comes on

  • SAE Code: C137D
  • Output ECU: No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the voltage at terminal +BS of the No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is more than a certain value, the No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) judges that the voltage is excessive, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

NOTICE:

When performing the normal judgment procedure, make sure that the driver door is closed and is not opened at any time during the procedure.

HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and turn the GTS on.
  6. Wait for 2 seconds or more. [*]

    HINT:

    [*]: Normal judgment procedure.

    The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

  7. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Utility / All Readiness.
  8. Check the DTC judgment result.

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform driving pattern again.

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 connectors.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.
