CIRCUIT OPERATION
The TCL/ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal 11) for the
solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is energized by the valve relay, which is
incorporated in the TCL/ASC-ECU. The valve relay, which is incorporated in the TCL/ASC-ECU, is always
energizing the solenoid valve unless the initial check is in progress when the
ignition switch is turned on.
TCL/ASC DTC SET CONDITIONS These diagnostic trouble codes will be set under the cases below. DTC C1278 (VALVE RELAY OFF FAILURE)
After the TCL/ASC-ECU turned on the valve relay, the solenoid valve is not
energized (valve relay OFF failure).
DTC C1278 (VALVE RELAY ON FAILURE)
After the TCL/ASC-ECU turned off the valve relay, the solenoid valve still
remains energized (valve relay ON failure).
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for these DTCs are to set are:)
Current trouble
Damaged wiring harness or connector Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with TCL/ASC-ECU)
Past trouble Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness in
the power supply circuit (terminal 11) to the TCL/AS
C-ECU solenoid valve or CAUTION: If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to
this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

6. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC C1278 or C1279 set?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: The procedure is complete.
STEP 3. Measure the voltage at TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32.
1. Disconnect the connector A-32, and connect special tool ABS Check
Harness (MB991952) to the wiring harness-side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal 11 and ground. It should be
a
pproximatel
y 12 volts
(batter
y positive volta
ge). NOTE: Do not connect special tool ABS Check Harness
(MB991952) to the TCL/ASC-ECU.

Q: Is TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 damaged?
YES: Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Then go to Step 8.
NO: An open or short circuit may be present in the solenoid valve power
supply circuit. Repair the wiring harness between TCL/ASC-ECU
connector A-32 terminal 11 and fusible link No. 3. Then go to Step 8.
STEP 5. Measure the resistance at TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32.
1. Disconnect the connector A-32, and connect special tool ABS Check
Harness (MB991952) to the wiring harness-side connector.
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 12 and ground. It should be 2
ohms or less. NOTE: Do not connect special tool ABS Check Harness
(MB991952) to the TCL/ASC-ECU.

Q: Is TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 damaged?
YES: Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Then go to Step 8.
NO: An open circuit may be present in the ground circuit. Repair the
wiring harness between TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 terminal 33 and
the body ground. Then go to Step 8.
STEP 7. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Erase the DTC.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
5. Check if the DTC is set.

CIRCUIT OPERATION The meter-ECU detects the brake fluid level switch ON/OFF and controls the brake
warning light ON/OFF.
The TCL/ASC-ECU and the meter-ECU are connected each other via a CAN bus
line, and the meter-ECU informs the TCL/ASC-ECU whether the brake fluid level
switch is turned on or off. ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS This DTC is set when all of the following cases are met.
When the amount of the brake fluid is less than lower limit. Vehicle speed is 15 km/h or more
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this DTC is to set are:)
Current trouble
Brake fluid is not filled Damaged wiring harness or connector Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with TCL/ASC-ECU) Malfunction of the combination meter (integrated with meter ECU)
Past trouble
Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness
between the combination meter circuit (terminal 7) to the brake fluid level
switch or parking brake switch. For diagnosis procedures, refer to HOW TO TREAT PAST TROUBLE
).
DIAGNOSIS Required Special Tools:
MB991958: Scan Tool
(MUT-III Sub Assembl
y) this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the harness wires between joint connector C-04 (terminal 13) and
parking brake switch connector C-34 (terminal 1) damaged?
YES: Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 12.
NO: Go to Step 9.
STEP 9. Check the harness wires between brake fluid level switch
connector A-04 (terminal 1) and joint connector C-04 (terminal 12).
