Code No. U0121: ABS/ASC CAN timeout



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 ).
  • If diagnosis code U0121 is set in electric parking brake ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus line. If there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. In this case, the set diagnosis code is not highly reliable.
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION


The electric parking brake ECU communicates with the ASC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


If the ECU cannot receive any signal from the ASC-ECU via CAN for at least one second, this diagnosis code will be set.

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 lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


Q. Is diagnosis code No. U0121 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check for diagnosis codes of other systems.

(3)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(4)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. U0121 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit (ASC-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 35C - Hydraulic Unit).
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
