DTC C0273 Open in ABS Motor Relay Circuit

DTC C0274 Short in ABS Motor Relay Circuit

DTC C1361 Short in ABS Motor Fail Safe Relay Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The ABS motor relay supplies power to the ABS pump motor. While the ABS is activated, the ECU turns the motor relay on and operates the ABS pump motor.
If the voltage supplied to the motor relay (+BM) is below the DTCs detection threshold due to low voltage from the battery or alternator, these DTCs may be stored.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000XHR08KX.html).
HINT:
When C1241 and/or C1417 is output together with C0273, C0274 and/or C1361, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1241 and/or C1417 first (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000XW60EIX.html, or COROLLA_ZRE142 RM00000368W05LX.html).
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ABS MOTOR RELAY)
  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Select the Active Test on the Techstream (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000XHW0BYX.html).

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Remove the ABS NO. 1 fuse from the engine room relay block.

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

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    ABS NO. 1 (50 A) fuse
    Always
    Below 1 Ω

  1. Install the ABS NO. 1 fuse.

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

  1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

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

    Standard Voltage:

5.RECONFIRM DTC
HINT:
This code is detected when a problem is identified in the brake actuator assembly.
The ABS motor relay is in the brake actuator assembly.
Therefore, ABS motor relay inspection and motor relay unit inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if the DTC is output before replacing the brake actuator assembly.
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.

  1. Clear the DTCs (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000XHV0F2X.html).

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 30 seconds or more.

  1. Check if the same DTC is recorded (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000XHV0F2X.html).

    Result:

    Result
    Proceed to
    DTCs (C0273, C0274 and C1361) are not output
    A
    DTCs (C0273, C0274 and/or C1361) are output
    B
    HINT:
    1. If a speed signal of 6 km/h (4 mph) or more is input to the skid control ECU with the ignition switch ON and the stop light switch off, the ECU performs self diagnosis of the motor and solenoid circuits.
    2. If the normal system code is output (no trouble codes are output), slightly jiggle the connectors, wire harness, and fuses of the brake actuator assembly. Make sure that no DTCs are output.
    3. If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or wire harness of the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU), inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.
    4. It is suspected that the DTCs were output due to a bad connection of the connector terminal.
