Inspection Procedure 1: The Communication between M.U.T.-III and Engine-ECU is Not Possible












OPERATION



  • Battery voltage is applied to the diagnosis connector (terminal No. 16).
  • The diagnosis connector (terminal No. 4 and No. 5) is grounded to the vehicle body.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM



  • When the communication between M.U.T.-III and the engine-ECU is impossible, the CAN bus line, power supply circuit of the diagnosis connector, and/or grounding circuit could possibly be defective. The communication cannot be achieved either if the wrong vehicle type is selected on M.U.T.-III.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Defective diagnosis connector.
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in diagnosis connector circuit or loose connector contact.
  • Defective CAN communication.
  • Defective M.U.T.-III.
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) operations


  • Connect the M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.
  • When the power of Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) is turned to ON, the indicator lamp of the Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) illuminates in green.
OK: The indicator lamp of the Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) illuminates in green.

Q. Is the check result normal?

STEP 3. Connector check: C-26 diagnosis connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at C-26 diagnosis connector.

  • Voltage between terminal No. 16 and earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 9.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Connector check: C-317 ETACS-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Check harness between C-317 (terminal No. 8) ETACS-ECU connector and C-26 (terminal No. 16) diagnosis connector.

  • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 7. Connector check: C-309 ETACS-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 8. Check harness between battery and C-309 (terminal No. 1) ETACS-ECU connector.

  • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Check No. 5 fuse in the ETACS-ECU, and replace if necessary. If the fuse is normal, replace the ETACS-ECU.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 9. Perform resistance measurement at C-26 diagnosis connector.

  • Resistance between terminal No. 4, No. 5 and earth.
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10.

    Check and repair harness between C-26 (terminal No. 4, No. 5) diagnosis connector and body earth.

    • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.

STEP 10. Connector check: C-309 and C-317 ETACS-ECU connectors

Q. Are the check results normal?
Go to Step 11.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 11. Continuity check on C-309 and C-317 ETACS-ECU connectors

  • Disconnect connectors, and measure at ETACS-ECU side.
  • Continuity check between terminal No. 1 (C-309) and No. 8 (C-317)
OK: Continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 12.
Check No. 5 fuse in the ETACS-ECU, and replace if necessary. If the fuse is normal, replace the ETACS-ECU.

STEP 12. Check harness between battery and C-309 (terminal No. 1) ETACS-ECU connector.

  • Check power supply line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 13.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 13. Check harness between C-317 (terminal No. 8) ETACS-ECU connector and C-26 (terminal No. 16) diagnosis connector.

  • Check power supply line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Refer to the M.U.T.-III reference manual.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 14. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis



  • Use M.U.T.-III, perform CAN bus line diagnosis.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Check engine-ECU power supply, engine control relay, ignition switch-IG1 system (Refer to Inspection Procedure 19 ).
Perform troubleshooting for CAN (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
