Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual: Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage System Voltage High (C137BA3)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System / Brake System Control Module "A" System Voltage System Voltage High (C137BA3)

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 deviates 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.
