INTRODUCTION TO TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSISM1136004600026
TCL Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection
Conditions
TCL diagnostic trouble codes (TCL DTCs) are set
under different conditions, depending on the mal-
function detected. Most TCL DTCs will only be set
during vehicle operation. Some TCL DTCs will also
be set during the TCL self-check immediately after
the engine is started. When you check if an TCL DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should recreate the TCL DTC set condi-
tions. Depending on the detection timing and set
conditions for the specific TCL DTC, you must either
drive the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it.
To set the proper conditions for that DTC again, refer
to "TCL DTC SET CONDITIONS" for each TCL DTC
that you are trying to reset.
TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1136003100062
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will check most of the
possible causes of a TCL problem.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any TCL DTC. (Refer to
P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and
Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
4. If you can verify the condition but no TCL DTCs
are set, and the malfunction may be intermittent.
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How
to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14).
5. If you can verify the condition but there is no TCL
DTCs, or the system cannot communicate with
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub
assembly), and find the fault. (Refer to P.13C-23,
Symptom Chart).6. If there is a TCL DTC, record the number of the
code, then erase the code from vehicle memory
using the diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub
assembly). (Refer to P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and Erase Diagnostic Trouble
Codes).
7. Re-create the TCL DTC set conditions to see if
the same TCL DTC will set again. (Refer to
P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and
Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
If the same TCL DTC sets again, perform the
diagnostic procedures for the set code. (Refer to
P.13C-8, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart).
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wir-
ing is an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU
will shut off power supply to the respective
wheel speed sensor. All other wheel speed
sensors will operate normally. To restore the
power supply, the ignition switch must be
turned to the "OFF" position then to the "ON"
position again.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHARTM1136003300022
During diagnosis, a DTC associated with other
system may be set when the ignition switch is
turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On
completion, confirm all systems for DTC(s). If
DTC(s) are set, erase them all.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.Follow the inspection chart that is appropriate for the
diagnostic trouble code.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES
U1100 CAN Communications System Time Out Error Engine Related Data
If DTC U1100 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.
Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,
ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
.
DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives engine system-related
signals from the ENGINE-ECU via CAN bus lines.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE
TO SET ARE:)
Damaged harness or connector.
Malfunction of the ENGINE-ECU.
Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.

Q: Is DTC U1100 set?
YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.
U1101 CAN Communications System Time Out Error A/T Related Data
If DTC U1101 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.
Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,
ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
.
DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives A/T system-related sig-
nals from the A/T-ECU via CAN bus lines.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE

Q: Is DTC U1101 set?
YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.
U1120 CAN Communications System TCL Uncontrollable by Engine Malfunction
If DTC U1120 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.
Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,
ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.
The engine control system-related DTC may
be set when DTC U1120 is set. (For details
refer to GROUP 00, Intersystem Affiliated DTC
Reference Table P.00-17). Diagnose the
engine control system first when the engine
control system-related DTC is set.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
.
DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives engine system-related
signals from the Engine-ECU via CAN bus lines. If a
fail-safe related data is contained in the signal from
the Engine-ECU, DTC U1120 will be stored.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE
TO SET ARE:)
Damaged harness or connector.
Malfunction of the Engine-ECU.
Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.

NOTE: If you press the TCL switch to deactivate the
TCL and then keep the TCL switch pressed for about
10 seconds, an error prevention function will auto-
matically reactivate the TCL. If you then still wish to
deactivate the TCL, press the TCL switch again to
deactivate it.NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
