Code No. U0101: A/T-ECU Time-out

caution

If diagnosis code U0101 is stored in the engine-ECU, surely perform CAN bus line diagnosis.

caution

Replace ECU after certainly confirming that the communication circuits are normal.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

Check Conditions

After 2 seconds have passed since the ignition switch was turned to "ON" position.
Battery positive voltage is more than 10 V and is less than 16.5 V.
After 2 seconds since the battery voltage has reached 10 V or more.

Judgement Criterion

Unable to receive A/T-ECU signals through the CAN bus line for 4 seconds.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

Current malfunction

The failure is possibly caused by malfunction of the harness and connector in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and A/T-ECU, by malfunction in the power supply system of A/T-ECU, in A/T-ECU itself, in engine-ECU.

Past malfunction

Proceed with troubleshooting focusing on malfunction of the harness and connector in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and A/T-ECU and malfunction in the power supply system of A/T-ECU. For diagnosis procedure, refer to how to cope with past malfunctions. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Treat Past Trouble

note

In the case of past malfunctions, M.U.T.-III CAN bus line diagnosis cannot detect a malfunction even if there is a malfunction in CAN bus. Therefore, check CAN bus line as in the case of response to intermittent malfunctions (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

). It is possible to narrow down areas with a high possibility of malfunctions from diagnosis codes stored in each ECU that performs CAN communication (Refer to GROUP 54C - Explanation about the M.U.T.-III CAN Bus Diagnostics

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

None

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed harness and connector
Failed A/T-ECU
Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

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

Use M.U.T.-III to perform CAN bus line diagnosis.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 2.

	Repair CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting - CAN Bus Diagnosis Table ). After repairing CAN bus line, go to Step 6.

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

Confirm whether the diagnosis code is stored in the A/T-ECU.

Q. Is diagnosis code stored?

	Perform troubleshooting of A/T (Refer to GROUP 23C - Troubleshooting - Check Chart for Diagnosis Code ).

	Go to Step 3.

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

Check that the other ECU performing CAN communication with A/T-ECU stores diagnosis code No. U0101 [Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Communication-related Diagnosis Code (U-code) Table

Q. Is diagnosis code stored?

	Go to Step 4.

	Go to Step 5.

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

Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is stored in the engine-ECU.

Erase the stored diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is stored.

Q. Is diagnosis code stored?

	After replacing A/T-ECU, go to Step 6.

	Intermittent malfunction in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and A/T-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

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

Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is stored in the engine-ECU.

Erase the stored diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is stored.

Q. Is diagnosis code stored?

	Replace the engine-ECU.

	Intermittent malfunction in CAN bus line between engine-ECU and A/T-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

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

Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Confirm again whether the diagnosis code is stored in the engine-ECU.

Erase the stored diagnosis code.
Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) → ON
Confirm whether the diagnosis code is stored.

Q. Is diagnosis code stored?

	Go to Step 1.

	Check end.
