Inspection Procedure 8: ASC-OFF Indicator Lamp Stays ON after the Engine is Started.


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, Trouble code diagnosis ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
  • When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sensor (Refer to , and ).

OPERATION
ASC-ECU sends the illumination request signal of the ASC OFF indicator lamp to the combination meter through ETACS-ECU via CAN communication.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
This may be caused by faults in the CAN bus line, ETACS-ECU, combination meter or ASC-ECU.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
  • Combination meter malfunction
  • ASC-ECU malfunction
  • When ASC OFF is operated

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 lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnosis table ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
Use M.U.T.-III to check the diagnosis code for the ASC system.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Diagnose the power supply circuit of the ASC-ECU (Refer to ).

STEP 4. ASC OFF switch check
Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Replace the ASC OFF switch (Refer to ).

STEP 5. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Using M.U.T.-III, check that diagnosis code No.U0141 is not set by the combination meter system.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Troubleshoot the combination meter (Refer to GROUP 54A - Combination meter, Diagnosis troubleshooting flow ), and then go to Step 7.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Using M.U.T.-III, check that diagnosis code No.U0121 is not set by the ETACS system.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Troubleshoot the ETACS (Refer to GROUP 54A - ETACS, Diagnosis troubleshooting flow ), and then go to Step 7.
Replace the ASC-ECU (Refer to ), and then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Retest the system.

Q. Does the ASC indicator lamp turn ON and OFF normally?
This diagnosis is complete.
