Code No.U1570 No bus activity error for LIN




TROUBLE JUDGEMENT


The ETACS-ECU will set diagnosis code No. U1570 when no communication has been carried out for more than a certain period after it received last valid data.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check of open circuit in LIN line between ETACS-ECU connector and column switch connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 2. Measure the voltage at the LIN bus lines.


Check the LIN bus lines for short to power supply.
(1)Disconnect all the connectors which are connected to the LIN bus lines.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from LOCK (OFF) to ON position.
(3)Measure the voltage between the column switch connector (power supply terminal) and the body earth.

  • The voltmeter needle does not swing.
note If the LIN bus lines are short to power supply, the voltmeter indicates a constant value.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 3. Measure the resistance at the LIN bus lines.


Check the LIN bus lines for short to earth.
(1)Disconnect all the connectors which are connected to the LIN bus lines.
(2)Measure the resistance between the column switch connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.

  • No continuity (1 kΩ or more)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check the column switch.


Disconnect column switch connector, and recheck whether diagnosis code No. U1570 is set.
(1)Connect all the relevant ECUs, and disconnect column switch connector only.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch from LOCK (OFF) to ON position.
(4)Check whether diagnosis code No. U1570 is set.
note If diagnosis code No. U1570 is not set, diagnosis code No. U1500 is set because the column switch is disconnected. This is normal.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U1570 set?

Reconnect the column switch connector, and go to Step 5.
Replace the column switch.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnosis code.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set in the ETACS-ECU.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from LOCK (OFF) to ON position.
(3)Check whether diagnosis code No. U1570 is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

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