Code No. 41, 42, 43, 44: Solenoid valve systemProbable cause
ABS-ECU monitors the solenoid valve energization circuit at all times. This code is
output when no current flows through the solenoid even when ABS-ECU energizes
it or when current continues flowing through the solenoid even when ABS-ECU
deenergizes it, which is considered to be attributable to an open- or short-circuited
solenoid coil or open- or short-circuited harness.

Code No. 51: Valve relay systemProbable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:

The solenoid valve power is not supplied when ABS-ECU attempts to turn ON
the valve relay as part of the initial check when the ignition switch is turned ON.

The solenoid valve power remains supplied when ABS-ECU attempts to turn OFF
the valve relay as part of the initial check when the ignition switch is turned ON.

The solenoid valve power is not supplied while the valve relay remains ON under
normal conditions.

In the diagnosis code reading by means of the ABS warning lamp, this code is output in addition to
the actual diagnosis code since the valve relay connector is disconnected.

addition to this code has been repaired, and if no diagnosis code other than No. 51 is output, then
the valve relay system is probably defective. Make the following checks.

Code No. 53: Motor relay systemProbable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:

No signals are input to the motor monitor when the motor relay is ON (motor
does not run, etc.).

A signal is being input to the motor monitor for 3 sec. or more when the motor
relay is OFF (motor continues running, etc.).

The motor relay is inoperative.

(1) If the motor relay contacts fuse, the motor continues running even when the ignition switch
is turned OFF. In this case, immediately remove fusible link No. 8 (60 A) or disconnect the
A-22 connector or A-77 motor relay connector of the hydraulic unit. Overloading the motor
results in a rundown battery.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-12
4. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped),
the ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU turns the valve relay ON → OFF → ON for initial checking when
it is powered ON. Accordingly, the ABS warning lamp illuminates twice even if the
circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU is faulty.
The cause may be an open circuit in the lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp,
an open circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU or between the ABS
warning lamp and the valve relay.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-13
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness (short circuit)
NOTE
This trouble symptom is limited to cases where ABS-ECU power supply is normal and the diagnosis
code is a normal diagnosis code.
NO
Check the harness wire, and repair if necessary.

NO

Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector B-25.

Disconnect the valve relay connector A-76.

Ignition switch: ON

Does the ABS warning lamp go off?YESReplace the ABS-ECU.
Does the ABS warning lamp stay illuminated when the connector
B-52 is disconnected and the ignition switch is turned to ON?YESReplace the combination meter.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp blinks once, and when turned to “START”, it
illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp flashes
once, and then switches off.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check.
During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and back to on again.
If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU and the ABS warning
lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF during valve relay
test, etc.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-14
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU is powered through IG2 which is turned off when the ignition key
is in START position. The ABS warning lamp is powered through IG1 which is not
turned off even when the ignition key is in START position. So the cause must be
a defective circuit on valve relay side.

problem diagnosis is difficult. However, if a normal diagnosis code is displayed, carry
out the following inspection.
