STEP 6. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, read the
diagnostic trouble code.
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link
connector. (Refer to P.13C-3).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Use diagnostic tool MB991958 to read the TCL diagnostic
trouble codes. (Refer to P.13C-3).
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5) Disconnect diagnostic tool MB991958.
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.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The TCL automatically goes to ON, when the
ignition is turned to the "ON" position. To deacti-
vate the TCL, press the TCL switch. To reactivate
the TCL , press the TCL switch again.
ABS/TCL-ECU send the illumination signal of
"TCL OFF" indicator light and TCL work indicator
light to the combination meter via the CAN com-
munication.
ABS/TCL-ECU operates the "TCL OFF" indicator
light and the TCL work indicator light for three
seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON"
position for bulb check.

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
