C1241






BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1241; Low or High Power Supply Voltage; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]
C1241 - Low or High Power Supply Voltage

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 canceled when the +BS terminal voltage returns to normal.





*: 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform VSC sensor neutral memorization Programming and Relearning.
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK BATTERY

(a) Check the battery voltage.

Standard Voltage:

11 to 14 V

NG -- CHECK OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM COMPONENT OR BATTERY Component Tests and General Diagnostics
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE TERMINAL)

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









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

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

Standard Voltage:





Result:





B -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (+BS CIRCUIT)

C -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (IG1 CIRCUIT)
A -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND1 TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.









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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND1 CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. RECONFIRM DTC

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

(b) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(c) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Start the engine.

(e) Perform a road test.

(f) Check if the same DTC is output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





HINT
If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing parts Problem Symptoms Table.

B -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY Removal

A -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
