caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
  • Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
 
 
OPERATION
AWC-ECU communicates with the ETACS-ECU via the CAN bus lines.
 
 
DTC SET CONDITIONS
The DTC is set when the signal sent from the ETACS-ECU cannot be received for a certain period.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Malfunction of the CAN bus line
  • Malfunction of power supply circuit system (ETACS-ECU)
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
  • Malfunction of AWC-ECU
