Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (TCU 524153.04) is generated if the control unit registers a resistance at the solenoid valve that does not correspond with the switch status of BG disk brake, and a voltage drop at the solenoid valve is also registered. This typically indicates a short to ground in the solenoid valve circuit.

Reaction:

When this error code is detected, the equipment may experience issues with the operation of the disk brake, leading to potential performance problems. The system might enter a protective mode to prevent further issues, resulting in limited operational capabilities or warnings displayed to the operator.

Recommendations:

1. Inspect Solenoid Valve Circuit:

• Check for Shorts to Ground: Inspect the wiring for any signs of shorting to ground.
• Ensure Secure Connections: Make sure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.

2. Test the Solenoid Valve:

• Measure Voltage: Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the signal input of the BG solenoid valve.
• Replace if Faulty: Replace the solenoid valve if it is providing low voltage readings.

3. Examine Wiring and Connectors:

• Inspect for Damage: Check the wiring and connectors associated with the solenoid valve for damage or disconnection.
• Repair or Replace: Repair or replace any damaged components.

4. Verify Control Unit Functionality:

• Test Control Unit: Ensure that the control unit is correctly processing the solenoid valve signals.
• Update Software: Update the control unit software if necessary.

Note:

Maintaining the solenoid valve and its associated circuitry is crucial for accurate disk brake operation. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help prevent issues related to low voltage readings.
