Code No. 53: Motor relay system
Probable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:
D
No signals are input to the motor monitor when the motor relay is ON (motor
does not run, etc.).
D
A signal is being input to the motor monitor for 3 sec. or more when the motor
relay is OFF (motor continues running, etc.).
D
The motor relay is inoperative.
D
Defective motor relay
D
Defective harness or connector
D
Defective hydraulic unit
D
Defective ABS-ECU
Caution
(1) If the motor relay contacts fuse, the motor continues running even when the ignition switch
is turned OFF. In this case, immediately remove fusible link No. 8 (60 A) or disconnect the
A-22 connector or A-77 motor relay connector of the hydraulic unit. Overloading the motor
results in a rundown battery.
(2) Driving the motor through actuator test runs down the battery. After the test, run the engine
for some while.
