DTC U1111: Multi-Center Display Unit Time-out
If DTC U1111 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the
CAN main bus line.
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.
.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The A/C-ECU receives signals from the multi-center
display unit. If the ECU cannot receive the signal
r e l a t e d t o t h e m u l t i - c e n t e r d i s p l a y u n i t , D T C U 1111
will be set.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Current trouble
Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus
lines between the A/C-ECU and the multi-center
display unit, the power supply system to the dis-
play unit, the display unit itself, or the A/C-ECU
may be defective.
Past trouble
W h e n D T C U 1111 i s s e t a s a p a s t t r o u b l e , c a r r y
out diagnosis with particular emphasis on con-
nector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines
between the A/C-ECU and the multi-center dis-
play unit, the power supply system to the display unit. If the connectors and wiring are normal, and
obviously the ECU or the multi-center display is
the cause of the trouble, replace the ECU or the
multi-center display. If in doubt, do not replace
the ECU or the display unit.
NOTE: For a past trouble, you cannot find it by
the diagnostic tool CAN bus diagnostics even if
there is a failure in the CAN bus lines. In this
case, refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Trouble-
shooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14.)
and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow
down the possible cause of the trouble by refer-
ring to the DTC, which is set regarding the CAN
communication-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP
54C
Explanation about the diagnostic tool CAN
bus diagnostics P.54C-6).

AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-61
STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool , diagnose the CAN bus line.
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool (MUT-III), always turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool (MUT-III).
(1) Connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,
Diagnosis P.54C-15).
STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool , read the Electronic control
unit diagnostic trouble code.
Check that the multi-center display unit sets a DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for the DTC related to the multi-center display unit.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Refer to GROUP 54A, multi-center display unit

Diagnosis P.54A-254.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using diagnostic tool , check for any diagnostic
trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked
systems below, is set.
ETACS-ECU
DTC indicating a time-out error of multi-center display unit
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Replace the multi-center display unit. On completion,
check that the DTC is not reset.
NO : A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent
malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between
the multi-center display unit and the A/C-ECU (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14).

DTC U1120: Failure Information on Electronic control unit (Related to Engine)
If DTC U1120 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the
CAN main bus line.
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.
The engine control system- related DTC may be
set when DTC U1120 is set. (For details refer to
GROUP 00, Intersystem Affiliated DTC Reference
Ta b l e P.00-17.) Diagnose the engine control sys-
tem first when the engine control system- related
DTC is set.
.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The A/C-ECU receives engine control sys-
tem-related signal from the Electronic control unit by
the CAN bus lines. If a fail-safe related data is con-
tained in the signal from the Electronic control unit,
DTC U1120 will be stored.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Current trouble
The wiring harness wire or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector, the Electronic
control unit, or the A/C-ECU may be defective.Past trouble
If DTC U1120 is stored as a past trouble, carry
out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring
and connector(s) in the CAN bus line between
the A/C-ECU and the Electronic control unit, and
the power supply system to the Electronic control
unit. If the connectors and wiring are normal, and
obviously the ECU is the cause of the trouble,
replace the ECU. If in doubt, do not replace the
ECU.
NOTE: For a past trouble, you cannot find it by
the diagnostic tool CAN bus diagnostics even if
there is a failure in CAN bus lines. In this case,
refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshoot-
ing/Inspection Service Points
How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14.) and check the
CAN bus lines. You can narrow down the possi-
ble cause of the trouble by referring to the DTC,
which is set regarding the CAN communica-
tion-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C
