DTC P1212 TCS COMMUNICATION LINEPFP:47850
DescriptionEBS0123D
NOTE:
If DTC P1212 is displayed with DTC U1000, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1000. Refer to
EC-1268, "
DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE" .
This CAN communication line is used to control the smooth engine operation during the TCS operation. Pulse
signals are exchanged between ECM and ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.
Be sure to erase the malfunction information such as DTC not only for ESP/TCS/ABS control unit but
also for ECM after TCS related repair.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS0123E
The MI will not light up for this self-diagnosis.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureEBS0123F
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Wait at least 5 seconds.
4. If DTC is detected, go to EC-1403, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
Diagnostic ProcedureEBS0123G
1. CHECK ESP/TCS/ABS CONTROL UNIT FUNCTION
Refer to BRC-58, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" (Models with ESP system) or BRC-11, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS"
(Models without ESP system).

CAUTION:

Quick connector can be removed when the tabs are
completely depressed. Do not twist it more than neces-
sary.

Do not use any tools to disconnect quick connector.

Keep resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.

Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, etc.
from getting on resin tube.

Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and
disconnection.

Do not remove the remaining retainer on hard tube (or
equivalent) except when resin tube or retainer is
replaced.

When resin tube or hard tube (or equivalent) is
replaced, also replace retainer with a new one.

To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid
damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
8. Using a fuel tank lock ring wrench (commercial service tool),
remove lock ring.
9. Remove main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly, and sub fuel level sensor unit as
follows.
CAUTION:

Do not bend float arm during removal.

Avoid impacts such as falling when handling components.Retainer color: Green

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Chamber and Jet Pump
When installing chamber and jet pump, insert them fully until a click
sound of full stopper engagement is heard (Ditto for jet pump inlet).
Main and Sub Fuel Level Sensor Unit
Install fuel level sensor unit with positioning mark (triangular protru-
sion) facing between two carved lines on fuel tank. (Figure shows left
side of fuel tank.)
NOTE:
On right side of fuel tank, there are three carved lines on fuel tank.
Set mating mark between two outer carved lines.
Quick Connector
Connect quick connector as follows:
1. Check the connection for damage and foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click sound is
heard.

a. Using a screwdriver, separate the snap fit portion of bracket in
numerical order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Put cloth or similar one on the edge of screwdriver not to
damage the inserted portion.
b. Pull out fuel pump, and disconnect harness connector.
2. Separate fuel filter and fuel level sensor unit as follows:
a. Fit a used O-ring into space between fuel level sensor unit and
fuel filter to release tabs.
NOTE:
For reference when reassembling, put a mating mark on outer
edges of fuel level sensor unit and fuel filter with some means
which cannot be erased by fuel.
b. Insert screwdriver to the gap between fuel filter and fuel level
sensor unit to separate them.
CAUTION:
