Code No.U1101 Engine-A/T-ECU Time-out (Related to Automatic Transmission) <A/T>
| caution |
- If diagnosis code U1101 is set in the combination meter, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.
- Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.
|
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The combination meter receives transmission control system-related signal from the engine-A/T-ECU via CAN bus lines. If the display unit cannot receive the necessary signals, diagnosis code U1101 will be set.
| note |
For M/T-vehicles, diagnosis code No.U1101 does not mean that there is a problem.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
Current trouble
- Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines between the engine-A/T-ECU and the combination meter, the power supply system to the engine-A/T-ECU, the engine-A/T-ECU itself, or the combination meter may be defective.
Past trouble
- Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines between the engine-A/T-ECU and the combination meter, and the power supply system to the engine-A/T-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to cope with past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
).
| note |
For a past trouble, you may 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 Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points . 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 54D - CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow ).

PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Malfunction of engine-A/T-ECU
- Malfunction of combination meter
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 54D - Troubleshooting ). Repair the CAN bus line and go to Step 6.
STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check whether the A/T system diagnosis codes are set or not.
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
Diagnose the A/T system (GROUP 23A - 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
- Code No.12: engine-A/T-ECU time-out (related to automatic transmission)
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)Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
|
|
|
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the engine-A/T-ECU and the combination meter (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
Replace engine-A/T-ECU and then go to Step 6.
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
|
|
|
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
|
|
|
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
The procedure is complete.
Go to Step 1.
