INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

Check voltage between terminals 1 and 2 of Engine Room R/B No. 3 (for ABS so-
lenoid relay).

PREPARATION:
Remove ABS solenoid relay from Engine Room R/B No. 3.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 2 of Engine
Room R/B No. 3 (for ABS solenoid relay).
OK:

Voltage: 10 – 14 V

NG

Check and repair harness or connector.

OK

2

Check continuity between terminal 3 of ABS solenoid relay and terminal AST of
ABS ECU.

CHECK:
Check continuity between terminal 3 of ABS solenoid relay and
terminal AST of ABS ECU.
OK:

Continuity

HINT:There is a resistance of 4 

∼

 6 

Ω

 between terminals A6 –

4 and A6 – 5 of ABS actuator.

NG

Repair or replace harness or ABS actuator.

Check ABS solenoid relay.

PREPARATION:
Remove ABS solenoid relay from Engine Room R/B No. 3.

CHECK:
Check continuity between each terminal of ABS solenoid relay.
OK:

CHECK:
(a)

Apply battery positive voltage between terminals 4 and 6.

(b)

Check continuity between each terminal of ABS solenoid
relay.

OK:

Open

Terminals 1 and 3

Continuity

NG

Replace ABS solenoid relay.

OK

4

Check for open and short in harness and connector between ABS solenoid relay
and ABS ECU (See page 

IN–27

).

NG 

Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

If the same code is still output after the DTC is deleted, check the contact condition of each con-
nection.
If the connector are normal, the ECU may be defective.

1997 LEXUS ES300   (RM511U)

DTC

13, 14

ABS Motor Relay Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The ABS motor relay supplies power to the ABS pump motor. While the ABS is activated, the ECU switches
the ABS motor relay ON and operates the ABS pump motor.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

13

Condition (1) or (2) continued for 0.2 sec. or more:

(1) ABS ECU terminal IG1 voltage is 9.5 V to 18.0 V, and

    when motor relay is ON in the midst of initial check 

     or in operation of ABS control, ABS ECU terminal MT

    voltage is less than 4 V.

(2) Motor relay is ON driving in the midst of initial check or

   in operation of ABS control, ABS ECU terminal IG1 

    voltage becomes 9.5 V or less and ABS ECU terminal

   MT voltage is less than 4 V.

ABS motor relay

ABS motor relay circuit

14

When motor relay is OFF, ABS ECU terminal MT voltage is

4 V or more continues for 0.2 sec. or more.

Fail safe function: If trouble occurs in the ABS motor relay circuit, the ECU cuts off current to the
                               ABS solenoid relay and prohibits ABS control.
