DTC C146E: Open Circuit in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit; DTC C146F: Short Circuit in ABS Solenoid Relay Circuit [11/2017 - 03/2019]: Description

The ABS solenoid relay supplies power to the ABS solenoid and TRAC solenoid.

The solenoid relay is turned on 1.5 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), and is turned off if an open or short in the solenoid is detected by self-diagnosis performed when the vehicle starts running.

The ABS solenoid relay is housed in the skid control ECU in the brake actuator assembly.
