.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
As the ignition switch is turned ON, power is supplied 
to each solenoid valve via the valve relay. M-ASTC-
ECU, by turning ON the transistor, grounds the circuit 
and turns the solenoid valve ON.

.

ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
The M-ASTC-ECU constantly monitors the solenoid 
valve drive circuits. These codes are output if the M-
ASTC-ECU judges that there is an open circuit or 
short-circuit in a solenoid coil or harness because the 
solenoid valve is on but no current flows to the sole-
noid valve, or if current continues flowing to the sole-
noid valve even though the solenoid valve is off.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the M-ASTC-ECU

• Malfunction of the hydraulic brake booster (HBB)

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the solenoid valve circuit at M-ASTC-ECU 
connector E-119 and E-120 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector E-119 and E-120.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure voltage between the following terminals. It should 

be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

When DTC 41 is set:

• M-ASTC-ECU connector E-120 terminal 43 and ground

• M-ASTC-ECU connector E-120 terminal 42 and ground
