Code No.U0121 ABS/ASC CAN timeout



caution
  • If diagnosis code No. U0121 is set to the ETACS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus line.
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


If the signal from ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU cannot be received, the ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code No. 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 600 ms or more, the ETACS-ECU determines that a problem has occurred.


PROBABLE CAUSES




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?

Go to Step 2.

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code


Check if diagnosis code is set to the ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set to the any of the above?

Set to the ABS-ECU. : Troubleshoot the ABS. Refer to GROUP 35B - Troubleshooting .

Set to the ASC-ECU. : Troubleshoot the ASC. Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting .

The diagnosis code is not set. : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code


Check if the diagnosis code No. U0121 is set to the engine ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Go to Step 4.

Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3)Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU.

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus lines between the ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU and the ETACS-ECU (GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3)Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
