Code No. U1220: ASC Parity/Toggle Bit Error <Vehicle with FCM-LS>

caution

If diagnosis code U1220 is set in the engine-ECU, surely perform CAN bus line diagnosis.
Replace ECU after certainly confirming that the communication circuits are normal.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

Check Conditions

After 5 seconds have passed since the ignition switch was turned to "ON" position.
Battery positive voltage is more than 10 V and is less than 16 V.

Judgement Criterion

The system detects any communication error between the engine-ECU and the ASC-ECU.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

Current malfunction

The failure is possibly caused by malfunction of the harness and connector in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and ASC-ECU, by malfunction in the power supply system of ASC-ECU, in ASC-ECU itself, in engine-ECU.

Past malfunction

Proceed with troubleshooting focusing on malfunction of the harness and connector in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and ASC-ECU and malfunction in the power supply system of ASC-ECU. For diagnosis procedure, refer to how to cope with past malfunctions. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Treat Past Trouble

note

In the case of past malfunctions, M.U.T.-III CAN bus line diagnosis cannot detect a malfunction even if there is a malfunction in CAN bus. Therefore, check CAN bus line as in the case of response to intermittent malfunctions (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

). It is possible to narrow down areas with a high possibility of malfunctions from diagnosis codes set in each ECU that performs CAN communication (Refer to GROUP 54C - Explanation about the M.U.T.-III CAN Bus Diagnostics

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

The RMS (Foward) and FCM-LS are prohibited.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed harness and connector
The ASC-ECU sends an unfeasible signal to the engine-ECU via CAN.
Failed ASC-ECU
Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis

Use M.U.T.-III to perform CAN bus line diagnosis.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 2.

	Repair CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). After repairing CAN bus line, go to Step 4.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is set in the engine-ECU.

Erase the set diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code set?

	After replacing ASC-ECU, go to Step 4.

	Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is set in the engine-ECU.

Erase the set diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code set?

	Replace engine-ECU, go to Step 4.

	Intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus line between the engine-ECU and the ASC-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is set in the engine-ECU.

Erase the set diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code set?

	Go to Step 1.

	Check end.
