CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC 11, 12 ABS Control (Solenoid) Relay Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This relay supplies power to each ABS solenoid. After the ignition switch is turned ON, if the initial check is
OK, the relay goes on.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
11
Conditions 1 and 2 continue for 0.2 sec. or more:
1. ABS control (solenoid) relay terminal (SR) voltage:
2WD models: 10 − 14 V
4WD models: Below 1.5 V
2. ABS control (solenoid) relay monitor terminal (AST) voltage:

Fail safe function:
If trouble occurs in the ABS control (solenoid) relay circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the ABS control (sole-
noid) relay and prohibits ABS control.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals A9−2 and A9−6 of ABS control (solenoid) relay
connector.
PREPARATION:
Disconnect the ABS control relay connector.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminals A9−2 and A9−6 of the
ABS control relay harness side connector.
OK:
Voltage: 10 − 14 V
NG Check and repair harness or connector.
OK
2 Check continuity between terminals A9−5 and A7−4, A7−4 and A7 −3, and A7−3
and A16−11/A17−16.
PREPARATION:
Disconnect the 2 connectors from the ABS actuator.
CHECK:
Check the continuity between terminal A9−5 and A7−4, A7−4
and A7−3, A7−3 and A16−11/A17−16.
OK:
Continuity
HINT:
There is a resistance of 26 − 40 Ω between terminals A7−4 and
A7−3.
NG Repair or replace harness or ABS actuator.
OK
