NOTE
*: Code No. 16 is erased by turning the ignition switch OFF.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES
Code No.16 ABB-ECU power supply system (abnormal
voltage increase or decrease)Probable cause
Code No.17, 18 ABS-ECU power supply system (open or
short circuit)
Code No.16 is output if the ABS-ECU power supply voltage is increased or decreased
than the specified.
Code No.17, 18 is output if the ABS-ECU power supply circuit isopen orshort, or
the ABS-ECU internal circuit is defective.
In addition, code No. 16 is erased by turning the ignition switch OFF.DMalfunction of the battery
DMalfunction of connector or harness
DMalfunction of the ABS-ECU
Caution
If the battery voltage is decreased or increased during the test, code No. 16 is output as a present
malfunction, disabling a correct diagnosis. Check the battery and fully charge it if necessary before
carrying out the following tests.
