DTC C1604 Ecu Hardware Error: DTC Detecting Condition

DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • EEPROM Check
  • Faulty HECU
Monitoring Period
  • Once per loop during EEPROM write access
Enable Conditions
  • The MCU checks the specified programming time with every write access to the EEPROM.

    The EEPROM device has to set a logical signal if a write procedure is completed. A failure is detected if this logical signals fails.

Fail Safe
  • The ABS/TCS/ESC functions are deactivated.
  • The ABS/TCS/ESC warning lamps are activated.
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Monitoring the Valve Solenoids
Monitoring Period
  • once every 200 to 300 ms
Enable Conditions
  • A failure is detected if the valve relay is switched off and the reference voltage of solenoid valve > 1.5V continuously for 56ms.
  • A failure is detected if the voltage drop at the activated low-side driver exceeds 2.0V or the voltage drop at one or more deactivated low-side drivers does not reach 2,0V continuously for 56ms.
Fail Safe
  • The ABS/EBD/TCS/ESC functions are deactivated.
  • The ABS/EBD/TCS/ESC warning lamps are activated.
Case 3 DTC Strategy
  • Temperature Sensor Monitoring
Monitoring Period
  • Cyclic every 1sec
Enable Conditions
  • A temperature sensor failure is detected if the failure event has occurred 5 times.
Fail Safe
  • The temperature value is set to -30 °C.
  • The all warning lamps are not activated.
Case 4 DTC Strategy
  • Long-Time Monitoring of the ESC Function
Monitoring Period
  • once per loop during active ESC
Enable Conditions
  • A failure is detected if the ESC function is active for more than 15s without a direction change of the calculated additional yaw torque.
Fail Safe
  • The TCS/ESC functions are deactivated.
  • The TCS/ESC warning lamps are activated.
