Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1241)

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System / Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1241)

DESCRIPTION

If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits ABS operation. This DTC is stored when the +BS terminal voltage meets one of the DTC detection conditions due to a malfunction in the power supply or charging circuit such as the battery or alternator circuit, etc. The DTC is cleared when the +BS terminal voltage returns to normal.

DTC No.

Trouble Area

C1241

Low Power Supply Voltage Malfunction

Any of the following is detected:

  • The +BS terminal voltage is less than 8.3 V and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) judge sthat power supply voltage is abnormal for 0.56 seconds or more.
  • When +BS terminal voltage is less than 8.3 V, power supply voltage of vehicle speed sensor is continuously low for 0.21 seconds or more.
  • ABS2 fuse
  • Battery
  • Charging system
  • Power source circuit
  • Ground circuit
  • Internal power supply circuit of the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)
