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

YES : Refer to GROUP 27C, Diagnosis

− Diagnostic

Trouble Code Chart

P.27C-11

.

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 AWD-ECU sets DTC No. U0114. Refer to GROUP
54C, CAN Communication-related DTC (U-code) table

P.54C-220

.

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

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 U0114 set?

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

of CAN bus line between ECM and AWD-ECU. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

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 U0114 set?

YES : Replace the ECM (Refer to, Removal and Installation

P.13B-903

). Then go to Step 6.

NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent

of CAN bus line between ECM and AWD-ECU. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

STEP 6. 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 U0114 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

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

CAUTION

• 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 fail-
ure in the ABS-ECU/ASC-ECU power supply sys-
tem, a failure in the ABS-ECU/ASC-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 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/Inspec-
tion Service Points

− How to Cope with Intermit-

tent Malfunctions

P.00-15

).

CAUTION

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

−

.

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, Explanation About The
Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) Can Bus Diagnostics

P.54C-10

).

.

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

• CAN line harness damage or connector damage.
