Acceleration Sensor Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1381)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) receives signals from the yaw
rate and acceleration (airbag sensor assembly) via the CAN communication system.
The airbag sensor assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and
detects the vehicle's condition using 2 ...
Brake Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery (P070312)
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving
in lock-up when the brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then
the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in p ...
Do-it-yourself service precautions
If you perform maintenance yourself, be sure to follow the correct procedures
as given in these sections.
CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move suddenly,
become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury observe
