CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ABS-ECU contains the power supply circuit (terminal 1) for the solenoid
valve. The solenoid valve is energized by the valve relay, which is
incorporated in the ABS-ECU. The valve relay, which is incorporated in the ABS-ECU, is always energizing
the solenoid valve unless the initial check is in progress when the ignition
switch is turned on.
ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
These diagnostic trouble codes will be set under the cases below.
DTC C1278 (Valve relay OFF failure) After the ABS-ECU turned on the valve relay, the solenoid valve is not
energized (valve relay OFF failure).
DTC C1278 (Valve relay ON failure) After the ABS-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:)

the power supply circuit (terminal 1) to the ABS-ECU solenoid valve or ground
circuit (terminal 2). For diagnosis procedures, refer to HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVIC
.
DIAGNOSIS Required Special Tools:
MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A
MB991970: ABS Check Harness
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connec
tor. CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958,
always turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or
disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES: Go to Step 3 .
NO: Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to TCL/ASC DIAGNOSIS , or
DIAGNOSIS < VEHICLES WITHOUT ADVANCED AIR BAG
).
Then go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
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. CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958,
always turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or
disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

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 ABS-ECU connector A-02.
1. Disconnect the connector A-02, and connect special tool ABS Check
Harness (MB991970) to the wiring harness-side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground. It should be
a
pproximatel
y 12 volts
(batter
y positive volta
ge). NOTE: Do not connect special tool ABS Check Harness
(MB991970) to the ABS-ECU.

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 ABS-ECU connector A-02 terminal 18 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.
