Diagnosis code No.03 Communication error with front-ECU



caution If diagnosis code No.03 is set in the ETACS-ECU, diagnose the CAN bus lines.




TROUBLE JUDGMENT


The ETACS-ECU communicates with the front-ECU through the SWS communication line. If there is any trouble in that communication, diagnosis code No.03 will be set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


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

POSSIBLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the front ECU
  • 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.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54F - Troubleshooting ).

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


(1)Ignition switch: ON
(2)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.03 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.03 set?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 3.

Step 3. Connector check: A-14X front-ECU connector



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Voltage measurement at the A-14X front-ECU connector.



(1)Remove the front-ECU, and measure at the relay box side.
(2)Ignition switch: ON

(3)Voltage between A-14X front-ECU connector terminal No.7 and body earth
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the front-ECU.

Go to Step 5.

Step 5. Check the wiring harness between A-14X front-ECU connector terminal No.7 and the fusible link (26).




  • 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. Connector check: A-15X front-ECU connector



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 7. Resistance measurement at the A-15X front-ECU connector.



(1)Remove the front-ECU, and measure at the relay box side.

(2)Resistance between A-15X front-ECU connector terminal No.31 and body earth
OK: 2 Ω or less

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.

Go to Step 8.

Step 8. Connector check: A-25 earth connector




Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 9. Check the wiring harness between A-15X front-ECU connector terminal No.31 and A-25 earth connector terminal No.5.






  • 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 10. Connector check: C-221 ETACS-ECU connector




Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.

Repair the defective connector.

Step 11. Check the wiring harness between C-221 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.59 and A-15X front-ECU connector terminal No.22.








note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check joint connector C-01 and intermediate connector C-125, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 12.

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 12. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Replace the front ECU, and then check that the diagnosis code is not reset.
(1)Replace the front ECU.
(2)Ignition switch: ON
(3)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.03 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.03 set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
The procedure is complete.
