DTC U0100: Engine CAN timeout
 
 
caution
  • If DTC U0100 is stored, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
  • Before replacing ECU, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.
 
 
DTC SET CONDITION
When the signal from the engine control module cannot be received, OSS-ECU stores DTC U0100.
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Check Conditions
  • When all the following conditions are met.
    1. Power supply mode: ON
    2. ETACS-ECU system voltage is at 10 to 16 V.
Judgment Criterion
  • After the following condition is met, 2,500 ms or more have elapsed.
    1. CAN signal from the engine control module cannot be received.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • Malfunction of the CAN bus line
  • Engine control module malfunction
  • Malfunction of OSS-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 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 MB991958, read the other system diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the engine control module.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (MB991958), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (MB991958).
Connect scan tool MB991958. 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 the engine control module (Refer to GROUP 13A, Troubleshooting ). On completion, go to Step 3.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the other system diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC U0100 is stored in ETACS-ECU.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (MB991958), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (MB991958).
Connect scan tool MB991958. 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?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 5.
 
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the OSS-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 engine control module.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the engine control module and the OSS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
 
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is stored again.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the OSS-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 OSS-ECU and register the VIN (Refer to ).
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the engine control module and the OSS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
