Diagnosis code No.02 Communication error with column switch



caution If diagnosis code No. 02 is set in the ETACS-ECU, diagnose the CAN bus lines.




Trouble judgment


The ETACS-ECU communicates with the column switch through the SWS communication lines. If there is any trouble in that communication, diagnosis code No. 02 will be set.

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


The column switch, the ETACS-ECU, connector(s), or wiring harness between the two may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the column switch
  • Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


Step 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Correct the CAN bus line. (Refer to Group 54F - Diagnosis .)

Step 2. Use the M.U.T.-III to confirm a diagnosis code. (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)


(1)Ignition switch: ON
(2)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.02 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.02 set?

Go to Step 3.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Step 3. Connector check: C-301 column switch connector



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Voltage measurement at the C-301 column switch connector.



(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.

(2)Voltage between C-301 column switch connector No.1 and body earth
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Go to Step 5.

Step 5. Check the wiring harness between C-301 column switch connector terminal No.1 to fusible link (26).




note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connectors C-125, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 6. Resistance measurement at the C-301 column switch connector.



(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.

(2)Continuity between C-301 column switch connector No.4 and body earth
OK: 2 Ω or less

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.

Go to Step 7.

Step 7. Check the wiring harness between C-301 column switch connector No.4 to body earth




  • Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 8. Connector check: C-221 ETACS-ECU connector



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 9. Check the wiring harness from C-221 ETACS-ECU connector terminal Nos. 59 and 68 to C-301 column switch connector terminal Nos. 3 and 2.





note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check joint connector C-01, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 10. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Replace the column switch, and then check that the diagnosis code is not reset.
(1)Replace the column switch.
(2)Ignition switch: ON
(3)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.02 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.02 set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
The procedure is complete.
