Inspection Procedure
11: ASC-ECU power supply circuit system.
caution |
- If there is any
problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis,
diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C -
CAN Bus Diagnostics Table
).
- Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
- When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out
the calibration of the G and yaw rate sensor and the steering wheel sensor (Refer to
and ).
|
OPERATION
- The ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (+BV terminal) for
the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is energised by the valve relay, which is incorporated
in the ASC-ECU.
- The ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (+BM terminal) for the pump
motor. The pump motor is energised by the motor relay, which is incorporated in the ASC-ECU.
- The ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (IG1 terminal) for itself. When the ignition
switch (IG1) is turned ON, the voltage is applied to the relay incorporated in the ETACS-ECU
to turn ON the relay, and the power is supplied from the fusible link through the multi-purpose
fuse.
- When malfunction occurs in ASC-ECU power supply, the communication with M.U.T.-III
becomes unavailable.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- The CAN bus line is defective.
- Battery failure
- Improper tightening of battery terminal
- Charging system failed
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Fuse and fusible link malfunction
- Improper tightening of earth bolt
- Malfunction of the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU)
