DTC U0141: ETACS-ECU Time-out

CAUTION

• If the ECM output the DTC U0141, make sure

to diagnose the CAN bus line.

• Before replacing the ECU, make sure that the

communication circuit is operating normally.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

There is no data from ETACS-ECU for the specified
time. (ETACS-ECU also detect communication error
with ECM.)

.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-708

Check Condition

• Battery positive voltage is between 10 and 16.5

volts.

Judgement Criterion

• Unable to receive ETACS-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
ETACS-ECU on the CAN bus line, a failure in the
ETACS-ECU power supply system, a failure in
the ETACS-ECU, or a failure in the ECM.

Past Trouble

• Proceed to troubleshoot based on a harness or

connector damage on the CAN bus line between
the ECM and ETACS-ECU, and a failure in the
ETACS power supply system. Refer to "How to
cope with past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00,
How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points

− How to Treat Past Trouble

P.00-17

).

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 54C, CAN bus line Diagnos-
tics Flow

P.54C-10

).

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

None.

.

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

• CAN line harness damage or connector damage.

• ETACS-ECU failed.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-709

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

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan 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 to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line normal?

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

Diagnosis

− Can Bus Diagnostics Table

P.54C-17

.

Then go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Read the ETACS-DTC.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the ETACS-DTC set?

YES : Refer to GROUP 54A, ETACS

− Diagnostic Trouble

Code Chart

P.54A-732

.

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check that the other ECU performing CAN communication

with ETACS-ECU sets DTC No. U0141. Refer to GROUP
54C, CAN Communication-related DTC (U-code) Table

P.54C-220

.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0141 set?

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

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the MFI-DTC has been deleted, read the MFI-DTC

again.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0141 set?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Then go to Step 6.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent

of CAN bus line between ECM and ETACS-ECU.

.

STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the MFI-DTC has been deleted, read the MFI-DTC

again.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0141 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced,

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis
− ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles

with KOS>

P.42B-15

or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis

− ID
