Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 387

Past Trouble

｠

Proceed to troubleshoot based on a harness or
connector damage on the CAN bus line between
the ECM ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU and ABS-ECU/ASC-
ECU, and a failure in the ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU
power supply system. Refer to "How to cope with
past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-15).

RANGE
"A"

When the ignition key is maintained within the
range "A" (i.e., the ignition switch IG2 is in OFF
position but the cranking does not start) for more
than 1 second, ECM stores DTC U0121 (the past
trouble).

NOTE:

If a malfunction occurred in the past, a

failure cannot be discovered through the MB991958
CAN bus diagnosis even if there might be a problem
with the CAN bus. In this case, refer to GROUP 00,
How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points - How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunctions P.00-15. Furthermore, it is possible
to narrow down the areas of the possible failures
from the DTCs that are output by the ECUs, which
are communicating on the CAN bus (Refer to GROUP
54D, CAN bus line Diagnostics Flow P.54D-10).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

｠

CAN line harness damage or connector damage.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

｠

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose CAN bus line.

Data link

connector

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting san tool MB991958.

(1)

Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Diagnose CAN bus line.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the CAN bus line normal?

YES:

It can be assumed that this malfunction is

intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope
with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-15.

NO:

Repair the CAN bus line. Refer to GROUP 54D, Can bus

Diagnostics Table P.54D-10. Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Check if DTC is set.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is DTC U0114 set?

YES:

Retry the troubleshooting.

NO:

The inspection is complete.

DTC U0121: ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU Time-Out

M11310100400USA0000010000

｠

If the ECM output the DTC U0121, make sure to
diagnose the CAN bus line.

｠

Before replacing the ECU, make sure that the
communication circuit is operating normally.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

｠

Battery positive voltage is 10 volts or higher.

｠

After 2 seconds have passed since the ignition
switch was turned to "ON" position.

Judgement Criterion

｠

Unable to receive ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU signals
through the CAN bus line for 4 seconds.

COMMENT

Current Trouble

｠

Some of the possible causes are a harness or
connector damage between the ECM and the ABS-
ECU/ASC-ECU on the CAN bus line, a failure in the
ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU power supply system, a
failure in the ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU, or a failure in the
ECM.
