Code No. C1608: EEPROM fail



caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
  • When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the G and yaw rate sensor and the steering wheel sensor (Refer to and ).

OPERATION


The ASC-ECU stores the vehicle information such as a sensor learnt value in the integrated EEPROM*.
note *: EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory)

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This code is set under the cases below:


PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


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


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

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines.


Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1608 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check the battery.


Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery Test.

Q. Is the battery in good condition?

Go to Step 4.
Charge or replace the battery. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 4. Check the charging system.


Refer to GROUP 16 - Charging System, On-vehicle Service.

Q. Is the charging system in good condition?

Go to Step 5.
Repair or replace the charging system component(s). Then go to Step 10.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the ASC-ECU connector.


(1)Connector check: the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector, the fuses (relay box) and the fusible links.
(2)Disconnect the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector.
(3)Measure the resistance between +BV terminal and body earth.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
The power supply circuit may be short. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector +BV terminal and the fusible links, the fuse (relay box) or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 6. Measure the resistance at the ASC-ECU connector.


(1)Connector check: the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector and the fusible links.
(2)Disconnect the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector and remove the fusible links.
(3)Measure the resistance between +BM terminal and body earth.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
The power supply circuit may be short. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector +BM terminal and the fusible links, or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 7. Measure the voltage at the ASC-ECU connector.


(1)Disconnect the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector.
(2)Measure the voltage between +BV terminal and body earth.
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector +BV terminal and the fusible links, the fuse (relay box) or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 8. Measure the voltage at the ASC-ECU connector.


(1)Disconnect the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector.
(2)Measure the voltage between +BM terminal and body earth.
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
The power supply circuit may be open. Repair the wiring harness wires or connectors between the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) connector +BM terminal and the fusible links, or the fusible links. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 9. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


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

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1608 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASC-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 10.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 10. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


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

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1608 set?

Return to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.
