PROBABLE CAUSES



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 Diagnostics Table ).

STEP 2. Use M.U.T.-III to confirm a diagnosis code of other systems.
Check that the other ECU performing CAN communication with ETACS-ECU sets diagnosis code No. U0141, U1109.

Q. Is diagnosis code set?
Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.

  1. Erase the set diagnosis code.

  3. Confirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.U0141 set?
Replace the ETACS-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction in CAN bus line between A/T-ECU and ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.

  1. Erase the set diagnosis code.
  2. Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF) → "ON"
  3. Confirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.U0141 set?
Replace the A/T-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction in CAN bus line between A/T-ECU and ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
