Diagnosis code No.21 Meter failure information



caution If diagnosis code No.21 is set in the ETACS-ECU, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
caution Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.


TROUBLE JUDGMENT


The ETACS-ECU receives vehicle speed-related signal from the combination meter via the CAN bus lines. If failure information is sent to the vehicle speed-related signal, diagnosis code No.21 will be set.

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


Current trouble
  • Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines, the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or the engine-ECU <M/T>, the combination meter, the ETACS-ECU or the output shaft speed sensor may be defective.
Past trouble
  • If diagnosis code 21 is stored as a past trouble, carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring and connector(s) between the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or engine-ECU <M/T> and the output shaft speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to treat past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).

POSSIBLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or engine-ECU <M/T>
  • Defective combination meter
  • Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

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 ). Repair the CAN bus line and go to Step 6.

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


Check whether the combination meter-related diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Diagnose the combination meter (Refer to GROUP 54A - Troubleshooting ).
Go to Step 3.

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


Check if a diagnosis code, which relates to CAN communication-linked systems below, is set.

  • Multi-centre display
    U1113: Combination meter failure information diagnosis code

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 5.

Step 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.

Q. Is the check result normal?

A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or the engine-ECU <M/T> and the output shaft speed sensor (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
Replace the combination meter, and then go to Step 6.

Step 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.

Q. Is the check result normal?

A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or the engine-ECU <M/T> and the output shaft speed sensor (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
Replace the ETACS-ECU, and then go to Step 6.

Step 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The procedure is complete.
