STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the 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. Refer to "How to connect the

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III)

P.54A-730

."

(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-17

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the AWD-ECU
diagnostic trouble code
Check if DTC is set to the AWD-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the electronic control AWD. (Refer to

GROUP 27C, Troubleshooting

P.27C-11

.)

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the combination
meter diagnostic trouble code.

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

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the AWD-ECU.
NO : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus
lines between the AWD-ECU and the ETACS-ECU.
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction

P.00-15

)

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON"

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU.
NO : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus
lines between the AWD-ECU and the ETACS-ECU.

DTC U0121: ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0121 is set to the ETACS-ECU, always

diagnose the CAN bus line.

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the

communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

If the signal from ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU cannot be
received, the ETACS-ECU sets DTC U0121.

.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

After the following statuses continue to be true for 5
seconds, if the communication with the ABS-ECU or
ASC-ECU cannot be established for 0.6 second or
more, the ETACS-ECU determines that a problem
has occurred.

• No abnormality is present to the network.

• Ignition switch is in the ON position.

• No abnormality is present to the power supply

fuse(IOD fuse), or the odometer value is at 80.5
km (50.0 miles) or more.

• ETACS-ECU system voltage is at 10−16 volts.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The ABS-ECU may be defective.

• The ASC-ECU may be defective.

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective.

• The CAN bus may be defective.
