Q: Is DTC U1101 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.

U1120 CAN Communications System TCL Uncontrollable by Engine Malfunction

CAUTION

• If DTC U1120 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,

always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.

• Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,

ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.

• The engine control system-related DTC may

be set when DTC U1120 is set. (For details
refer to GROUP 00, Intersystem Affiliated DTC
Reference Table

P.00-17

). Diagnose the

engine control system first when the engine
control system-related DTC is set.

NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.

.

DTC SET CONDITION

The ABS/TCL-ECU receives engine system-related
signals from the Engine-ECU via CAN bus lines. If a
fail-safe related data is contained in the signal from
the Engine-ECU, DTC U1120 will be stored.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE
TO SET ARE:)

• Damaged harness or connector.

• Malfunction of the Engine-ECU.

• Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.
