Code No. U0401: Engine ECU (CAN message)



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

OPERATION


Engine-related signals are sent or received to and from between ASTC-ECU and engine ECU via CAN bus lines.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This diagnosis code is set when the engine ECU malfunction has been detected.

PROBABLE CAUSES


Current trouble
Past trouble

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. U0401 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check for diagnosis codes of other systems.


Check if diagnosis code(s) other than U0401 is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Follow the relevant diagnosis code procedure, and then go to Step 6.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Use M.U.T.-III to confirm a diagnosis code of other systems.


Check if the diagnosis code is set in the engine ECU (Refer to GROUP 13C - Diagnosis Code Chart ).

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Troubleshoot the engine ECU diagnosis code (Refer to GROUP 13C - Diagnosis Code Chart ). Then go to Step 6.
Go to Step 5.

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. U0401 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU). (Refer to .) Then go to Step 6.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 6. 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. U0401 set?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
