Code No.U1100 Engine CAN timeout


caution If diagnosis code No.U1100 is set in the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU), diagnose the CAN main bus line.
caution Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.


TROUBLE JUDGMENT


The A/C-ECU receives air conditioner control-related signals from the engine-ECU via the CAN bus lines. If the ECU cannot receive any of the air conditioner control-related signals from the engine-ECU, diagnosis code U1100 will be stored.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


Current trouble
  • Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines between the engine-ECU and the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU), the power supply system to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU itself, or the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) may be faulty.
Past trouble
  • Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines between the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) and the engine-ECU, and the power supply system to the engine-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to treat past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Treat Past Trouble ).
    note For a past trouble, you can not find it by the M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is any failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow down the possible cause of the trouble by referring to the diagnosis code, which is set regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow ).
    caution If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position without starting the engine, the diagnosis code U1100 (past trouble) may be set to the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) after three minutes.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Damaged wiring harness or connectors
  • Malfunction of the engine-ECU
  • Malfunction of the auto A/C controller assembly (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 54C Troubleshooting ). On completion, go to Step 6.

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


Check whether the engine-ECU-related diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Diagnose the engine-ECU. (Refer to GROUP 13A Troubleshooting ).
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.

  • ETACS-ECU
    U1100: engine-ECU-related time-out 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.


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, and then go to Step 6.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus line between the engine-ECU and auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

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) to "ON"
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) and then go to Step 6.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus line between the engine-ECU and the auto A/C controller assembly (A/C-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

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) to "ON"
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
