Code No. C1294: Abnormal rear differential lock detection circuit



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 - Troubleshooting ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
  • When the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of and the G sensor (Refer to ).

OPERATION


The rear differential lock detection switch output signal is sent to ABS-ECU via the CAN bus lines from transfer-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITION


This diagnosis code will be set when the transfer-ECU detects a fault in the rear differential lock system.

PROBABLE CAUSES


Current trouble
Past trouble

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


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


Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Turn the rear differential lock switch to the "ON" position.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1294 set?

Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

STEP 3. Use M.U.T.-III to confirm a diagnosis code of other systems.


Check if the diagnosis code is set in the transfer-ECU (Refer to GROUP 23A - Diagnosis Code Chart).

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Troubleshoot the transfer-ECU diagnosis code. Then go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

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


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is code No. C1294 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU).
O : Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

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


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1294 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU).
The procedure is complete.
