Code No.U0415 Vehicle speed (CAN message) data input malfunction


caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Diagnostics Table).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION

    EPS-ECU receives vehicle speed signal from the ABS-ECU <vehicles with ABS>, ASC-ECU <vehicles with ASC>.

FUNCTION

    The vehicle speed signal is sent to the EPS-ECU for motor control.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Conditions
  • The power supply circuit system diagnosis code (No. C1540, C1541) is not set.
  • The diagnosis code related to ABS circuit system <vehicles with ABS> and ASC circuit system <vehicles with ASC> is not set.
  • The engine circuit system diagnosis code is not set.
Judgement Criterion
  • Abnormal vehicle speed signal sent to the EPS-ECU is received once or more.
  • Abnormal vehicle speed signals are sent from the ABS-ECU <vehicles with ABS>, ASC-ECU <vehicles with ASC>, and engine-ECU, and the microcomputer determines that there is a problem in the vehicle speed measurement system.
Fail Safe, Back Up Function
    The EPS-ECU illuminates the electric power steering warning display, and sets the diagnosis code No. U0415 to limit assist operation.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Malfunction of CAN bus line
  • Malfunction of the EPS-ECU
  • Malfunction of the ABS-ECU <vehicles with ABS>
  • Malfunction of the ASC-ECU <vehicles with ASC>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis codes U0415 set?
Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the following service data .

  • Item No. 08: Vehicle speed

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Perform troubleshooting for ABS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 35B - Troubleshooting <vehicles with ABS>, ASC-ECU (Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting <vehicles with ASC>. Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis codes U0415 set?
Replace the EPS-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 5.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis codes U0415 set?
Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
