DTC U1111: Multi-Center Display Unit Time-out

CAUTION

If DTC U1111 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the
CAN main bus line.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The A/C-ECU receives signals from the multi-center
display unit. If the ECU cannot receive the signal
related to the multi-center display unit, DTC U1111
will be set.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus

lines between the A/C-ECU and the multi-center
display unit, the power supply system to the dis-
play unit, the display unit itself, or the A/C-ECU
may be defective.

Past trouble

• When DTC U1111 is set as a past trouble, carry

out diagnosis with particular emphasis on con-
nector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines
between the A/C-ECU and the multi-center dis-
play unit, the power supply system to the display

unit. If the connectors and wiring are normal, and
obviously the ECU or the multi-center display is
the cause of the trouble, replace the ECU or the
multi-center display. If in doubt, do not replace
the ECU or the display unit.

NOTE: For a past trouble, you cannot find it by
the diagnostic tool CAN bus diagnostics even if
there is a failure in the CAN bus lines. In this
case, refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Trouble-
shooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-14

.)

and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow
down the possible cause of the trouble by refer-
ring to the DTC, which is set regarding the CAN
communication-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP
54C

− Explanation about the diagnostic tool CAN

bus diagnostics

P.54C-6

).

STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool , diagnose the CAN bus line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool (MUT-III), always turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool (MUT-III).
(1) Connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis

P.54C-15

).

STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool , read the Electronic control
unit diagnostic trouble code.
Check that the multi-center display unit sets a DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for the DTC related to the multi-center display unit.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Refer to GROUP 54A, multi-center display unit

STEP 3. Using diagnostic tool , check for any diagnostic
trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked
systems below, is set.

• ETACS-ECU

DTC indicating a time-out error of multi-center display unit

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Replace the multi-center display unit. On completion,

check that the DTC is not reset.

NO : A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between
the multi-center display unit and the A/C-ECU (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
