COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
This code will be set when the A/C control panel is
faulty.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the A/C control panel

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset
Replace the A/C control panel, and erase the diagno-
sis code. Then check that no diagnosis code is being
set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the A/C-ECU.

NO :

This diagnosis is complete.

Code No.U1415: Coding Not Completed

CAUTION

If diagnosis code No. U1415 is set in the A/C-
ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CAUTION

Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the com-
munication circuit is normal.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The A/C-ECU receives vehicle information-related
signals from the ETACS-ECU via the CAN bus lines.
If the ECU receives an incorrect global coding data
or cannot receive any coding data when the ignition
switch is turned on and the coding is complete, diag-
nosis code U1415 will be set.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2

NO :

Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP
54C

− Troubleshooting ). On completion, go

to Step 6.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check whether the ETACS-related diagnosis code is
set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to

NO :

Go to Step 3

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check if a diagnosis code, which relates to the CAN
communication-linked systems below, is set.

• WCM <Vehicles with WCM>

B2204: Coding data unmatched

• KOS <Vehicles with KOS>

B2204: Coding data unmatched

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Go to Step 4

NO :

Go to Step 5

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the ETACS-ECU, and then go to

Step 6.

NO :

A poor connection, open circuit or other
intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus line
between the ETACS-ECU and the A/C-ECU
(Refer to GROUP 00

− How to Cope with

Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the A/C-ECU, and then go to Step

6.

NO :

A poor connection, open circuit or other
intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus line
between the ETACS-ECU and the A/C-ECU
(Refer to GROUP 00

− How to Cope with

Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

The procedure is complete.

Code No. U0019: Bus off (CAN-B)

CAUTION

If diagnosis code No.U0019 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
If the A/C-ECU ceases communicating once (i.e. bus
off) and then returns to it, the A/C-ECU will not com-
municate for three minutes immediately after that
point. This three-minute period is called "Penalty
mode." Immediately after the A/C-ECU returns to
communication, the diagnosis code is set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The wiring harness wire or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector, or the A/C-ECU may
be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2

NO :

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP
54C

− Troubleshooting ). On completion, go

to Step 3.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the A/C-ECU, and then go to Step

3.

NO :

If a trouble is solved, it is determined that
there is an intermittent malfunction such as
poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

The procedure is complete.

Code No. U0141: ETACS-ECU CAN time-out

CAUTION

If diagnosis code No.U0141 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 air conditioner operation-
related signal from the ETACS-ECU via the CAN bus
lines. If the A/C-ECU can not receive the air condi-
tioner operation-related signal at all on the ETACS-
ECU, diagnosis code No.U0141 will be set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

Current trouble

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

lines between the ETACS-ECU and the A/C-
ECU, the power supply system to the ETACS-
ECU, the ETACS-ECU itself, or the A/C-ECU
may be faulty.

Past trouble

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on

connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus
lines between the ETACS-ECU and the A/C-
ECU, and the power supply system to the
ETACS-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to
"How to treat past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00

−

How to Treat Past Trouble ).

NOTE: For a past trouble, you can not find it by the

M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is
any failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to
GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Mal-
function and check the CAN bus lines. You can
narrow down the possible cause of the trouble by
referring to the diagnosis code, which is set
regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs
(Refer to GROUP 54C

−

CAN Bus Line Diagnos-

tic Flow ).

CAUTION

If the ignition switch is turned on without starting
the engine and then three minutes pass, the A/C-
ECU may store U0141 as past trouble.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU
