Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model with Electric Parking Brake System): C117A49; Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage Line Internal Electronic Failure; 2024 - 2026 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [08/2023 -        ]

DTC

C117A49

Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage Line Internal Electronic Failure

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.

Note

C117A49

Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage Line Internal Electronic Failure

The vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or more and 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.*

  • Wire harness or connector
  • Skid control ECU (brakeactuator assembly)

Does not come on

-

*: 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.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK VEHICLE CONDITION (CHECK FOR AFTERMARKET PARTS)

(a) Consult with the customer to determine whether any aftermarket electrical components are currently installed to the vehicle, or had ever been installed to the vehicle in the past.

Result

Proceed to

No aftermarket electrical components.

A

Aftermarket electrical components are/were installed.

2.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ABS NO. 2 FUSE - +BS TERMINAL)

(a) Remove the ABS No. 2 fuse from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.

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

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

(c) Disconnect the A51 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection
