Lexus ES: Power Supply Drive Circuit (C1257)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) detects a drop in accumulator pressure according to the signals from the accumulator pressure sensor, then operates and stops the motor relay as well as the pump motor.

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) troubleshoots the built-in motor relay drive circuit, and stores this DTC when a malfunction is detected.

DTC No.
