DTC C1242/42 IG2 Power Source Circuit
Description
If there is a problem with the master cylinder solenoid (skid control ECU) power supply circuit, the skid control ECU stores DTCs and prohibits operation under the fail-safe function.
If the voltage supplied to the IG2 terminal is within the DTC detection range due to malfunctions in components such as the battery and alternator circuit, this DTC is stored.
