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 the voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 for loose, corroded or
dama
ged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector
.

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 the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 for loose, corroded or
