Code No. C1266: Motor stuck
Code No. C1271: Motor drive circuit
Code No. C1273: Motor drive circuit stuck off
Code No. C1281: Motor drive circuit (high 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 - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
  • When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASTC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor and the G and yaw rate sensor (Refer to ).

Code No. C1273
Codes No. C1281

PROBABLE CAUSES


Current trouble
Past trouble

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis


Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h or more.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check that the ABS warning lamp, Brake warning lamp, ASTC indicator lamp and ASTC OFF indicator lamp goes out.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1266, C1271, C1273 or C1281 set?

Go to Step 3.
The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check the battery


Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery Test .

Q. Is the auxiliary battery normal?

Go to Step 4.
Charge or replace the battery. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 4. Check the fusible link No.4


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the ASTC-ECU connector


(1)Remove the fusible link No.4.
(2)Check the ASTC-ECU connector.
(3)Disconnect the connector and measure at the wiring harness side.
(4)Measure the resistance between +BM terminal and body earth.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the fusible link No.4. Then go to Step 8.
The power supply circuit may be short. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector +BM terminal and the fusible links, or replace the fusible links. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at the ASTC-ECU connector


(1)Check the ASTC-ECU connector.
(2)Disconnect the connector and measure at the wiring harness side.
(3)Measure the voltage between +BM terminal and body earth.
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the ASTC-ECU connector +BM terminal and the fusible links. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h or more.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check that the ABS warning lamp, Brake warning lamp, ASTC indicator lamp and ASTC OFF indicator lamp goes out.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1266, C1271, C1273 or C1281 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 8.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h or more.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check that the ABS warning lamp, Brake warning lamp, ASTC indicator lamp and ASTC OFF indicator lamp goes out.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1266, C1271, C1273 or C1281 set?

Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
