Code No.U1120: Engine-related CAN communication failure information


caution If diagnosis code No. U1120 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the CAN main bus line.


TROUBLE JUDGMENT


The A/C-ECU receives vehicle speed signal from the engine-ECU <M/T> or the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> via CAN bus lines. If failure information is sent to the vehicle speed signal, diagnosis code U1120 will be set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


Current trouble
  • The vehicle speed sensor, A/C-ECU, engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> may be defective.
Past trouble
  • Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness between the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> and the vehicle speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to treat past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Damaged harness wires and connectors
  • Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU
  • Malfunction of the A/C-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 lines. (Refer to GROUP 54F, Troubleshooting .) On completion, go to Step 6.

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


Check whether the engine-related diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Diagnose the engine control system. Refer to <Except vehicles for Hong Kong and Singapore> or <Vehicles for Hong Kong and Singapore>.
Go to Step 3.

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


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

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 5.

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


Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>, go to Step 6.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction between the engine-ECU <M/T> or the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> and the vehicle speed sensor. (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction .)

STEP 5. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the A/C-ECU, and then go to Step 6.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction between the engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> and the vehicle speed sensor. (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction .)

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
