Code No. C1861: Power supply low voltage
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 - Troubleshooting
).
- Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
- When the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor and the G sensor (Refer to
).
|
OPERATION
The ASTC-ECU is energised by the electric motor switch through the multi-purpose fuse at the terminal IG1.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
The ASTC-ECU monitors the ASTC-ECU power supply voltage sent from the battery. When the voltage falls below a predetermined value, the ECU determines that the trouble occurs and sets the diagnosis code.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Current trouble
- Battery failure
- Charging system failed
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Malfunction of the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU)
Past trouble
- Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness in the power supply circuit (+BV and IG1 terminals) to the ASTC-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to How to treat past trouble (GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
).

|
|
Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
Charge or replace the battery (Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery ). Then go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check the charging system.
|
|
Refer to GROUP 16 - Charging System .
|
|
Q.
Is the charging system in good condition?
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
Repair or replace the charging system component(s) (Refer to GROUP 16 - Alternator ). Then go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(1)Connector check: the ASTC-ECU connector, the fuses (relay box) and the fusible links
|
|
(2)Disconnect the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(3)Measure the resistance between +BV terminal and body earth. OK: No continuity
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
The power supply circuit may be short. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector +BV terminal and the fusible links, the fuse (relay box) or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Measure the resistance at the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(1)Connector check: the ASTC-ECU connector and the junction block
|
|
(2)Disconnect the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(3)Measure the resistance between the IG1 terminal and body earth. OK: No continuity
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 7.
|
|
|
|
The power supply circuit may be short. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector IG1 terminal and the junction block. Then go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
STEP 7. Measure the voltage at the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(2)Measure the voltage between +BV terminal and body earth. OK: Battery voltage
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 8.
|
|
|
|
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector +BV terminal and the fusible links, the fuse (relay box) or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
STEP 8. Measure the voltage at the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(3)Measure the voltage between the IG1 terminal and body earth. OK: Battery voltage
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 9.
|
|
|
|
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector IG1 terminal and the junction block. Then go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
STEP 9. Measure the resistance at the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the ASTC-ECU connector.
|
|
(2) Measure the resistance between the GND1 terminal and body earth as well as between the GND2 terminal and body earth. OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less).
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 10.
