DTC U0141: ETACS CAN timeout
 
 
caution
  • If DTC U0141 is stored, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
  • When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.
 
 
DTC SET CONDITION
If no signal from ETACS can be received, KOS-ECU stores DTC U0141.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • Malfunction of CAN bus line
  • Malfunction of KOS-ECU
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T-III), diagnose the CAN bus line.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T-III), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T-III). Refer to "How to connect the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
(2) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to ON.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to OFF.
Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, Diagnosis ).
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T-III), read the other system diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC is stored in the ETACS-ECU.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T-III), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T-III). Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
(2) Erase the DTC.
(3) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to ON.
(4) Check if DTC is stored.
(5) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to OFF.
Is the DTC stored?
Perform troubleshooting for ETACS (Refer to GROUP 54A, ETACS - Troubleshooting ). Then go to Step 3.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T-III), read the other system diagnostic trouble code.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T-III), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T-III). Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
(2) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to ON.
(3) Check if DTC U0141 is stored in the combination meter.
(4) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to OFF.
Is the DTC stored?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 5.
 
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the KOS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch from OFF to ON.
(3) Check if DTC is stored.
(4) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch from ON to OFF.
Is the DTC stored?
Replace the ETACS-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
 
STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the KOS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch from OFF to ON.
(3) Check if DTC is stored.
(4) Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch from ON to OFF.
Is the DTC stored?
Replace KOS-ECU and register the ID codes (Refer to ).
Intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
