DTC C161E: Electric Pump Relay Circuit System (Stuck)

.

AWC PUMP RELAY SYSTEM CIRCUIT

Refer to

P.22A-55

.

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines,

an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be
set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN
bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the CAN bus lines are normal.

• Since the fluid in the hydraulic unit will be

hardened under low temperature, the load of
the pump increases and the motor may not
operate normally. Therefore, completely
remove snow and ice from the hydraulic unit
and leave the vehicle under temperature of
0° C (32° F) or higher for 4 hours or more

before performing the troubleshooting.

.

OPERATION

AWC-ECU controls the electric pump by the informa-
tion from AWC pressure sensor and electric pump
relay.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

The code is set when the electric pump operation
signal is output from AWC-ECU, and when the AWC
pressure sensor signal is not reached the specified
pressure after the specified time has elapsed.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Fluid malfunction (low fluid level)
• AWC pressure sensor malfunction
• Electric pump relay malfunction
• Hydraulic unit malfunction
• Electric pump malfunction
• Damaged harness wires and connectors
• Malfunction of AWC-ECU
• Used under low temperature condition

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is
reset.
As for vehicles under low temperature condition, carry out the
contents of the precautions, and then check the diagnostic trou-
ble code again.
Q: Is diagnosis code No.C161E set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 2. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C −

Troubleshooting

P.54C-15

.) After repairing the CAN

bus line, go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. C161E set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : This diagnosis is complete.

On-vehicle Service

P.27-28

.)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Add the fluid. Then go to Step 15.

STEP 5. Scan tool diagnostic trouble code
Check if the AWC diagnostic trouble code No. C1611, C1612,
C1625, or C161D is set.(Refer to

P.22A-12

.)

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Perform the relevant troubleshooting.
NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Scan tool actuator test

OK: Operating sound of the electric pump can be
heard.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 14.
NO : Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Electric pump relay single unit check
Check the electric pump relay.(Refer to
