Past trouble
  • Refer to "How to treat past trouble" (GROUP 00 - How to Treat Past Trouble ) for proceeding the diagnostics.

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 2.
Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting .) Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the following service data. (Refer to .)

Check the connectors below for improper engagement, terminal damage or terminal drawn in the connector case.

  • C-130 4WD-ECU connector
  • C-313, C-317 ETACS-ECU connector

Q. Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?
Go to Step 4.
Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Wiring harness check
Check the wiring harness between the C-130 4WD-ECU connector and the C-313 ETACS-ECU connector for damage or other problem.

Q. Is the wiring harness in good condition?
Go to Step 5.
Repair damage or other problem in the wiring harness. Then go to Step 6.

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 code No. U0121 set?
Replace 4WD-ECU. (Refer to .) Then go to Step 6.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. U0121 set?
Diagnose again from Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
