The HECU is composed of an ECU (Electronic Control Unit ) and a HCU( Hydraulic Control Unit) , HCU is composed of a source of hydraulic pressure and modulator valve block. Increase and decrease of hydraulic pressure is opreated by electronic motor, According to a detected signal by wheel speed sensor, The hydraulic pressure which is needed for control is supplied by pump. The HCU' function which is composed of a accumulator, return pump, solenoid valve is to increase, decrease or maintain the hydralic pressure supplied to a brake caliper by operating return pump according to HECU control signal while ABS control is active.
The HECU monitors the operation of the IC components such as memory, register, A/D converter and so on. The ECU sets this code when the EEPROM data read by the master processor is different than prior data writed, or when the master/slave processor detects abnormal operation in RAM, Status Register, Interrupt, Timer, A/D converter or cycle time.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible cause | |
DTC Strategy | ● Internal monitoring | ● Inoperative HECU | |
Case 1 | Monitoring Period | ● Continuous | |
Enable Conditions | ● If Internal control unit failures of the master/slave processor or peripheral integrated circuits is detected. | ||
Case 2 | Monitoring Period | ● Directly after ignition on, during reading of EEPROM-values | |
Enable Conditions | ● Failure is set if checksum not correct or PSW-EEPROM-Handler reported unknown failure during EEPROM-value reading. ● If EEPROM reading sequence take longer then 3 s, a failure is set. | ||
Fail Safe | ● The ABS/EBD/ESP functions are inhibited. ● The ABS/EBD/ESP warning lamps are activated. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
Ignition "OFF".
Ignition "ON".
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode
Using a scantool, Clear DTC.
Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode again.
Are any DTCs present ?
▶ Substitute with a known-good HECU and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace HECU and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by faulty HECU or was repaired and HECU memory was not cleared. go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode
Using a scantool, Clear DTC.
Operate the vehicle within DTC Detecting Condition in General Information
Are any DTCs present?
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
▶ System performing to specification at this time.
