U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006225873
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time applications. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicle is equipped with many electronic control unit, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected
with 2 communication lines (CAN H-line, CAN L-line) al lowing a high rate of information transmission with less
wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD) : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217716
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line
BASIC ASCD SYSTEM
 Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) allows a dr iver to keep vehicle at predetermined constant speed
without depressing accelerator pedal. Driver can be set the vehicle speed in the set speed range.
 ECM controls throttle angle of electric th rottle control actuator to regulate engine speed.
 Operation status of ASCD is indicated in combination meter.
 If any malfunction occurs in the ASCD system, it automatically deactivates the ASCD control.
Refer to EC-49, "
AUTMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (A SCD) : Switch Name and Function" for ASCD
operating instructions.
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle in a safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
CAN COMMUNICATION
CAN COMMUNICATION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217718
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication s peed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CA N communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
Refer to LAN-28, "
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communication Signal Chart", about CAN com-
munication for detail.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006288349
The ECM receives two vehicle speed signals by the CAN
communication line. One is sent from “combination
meter”, and the other is from TCM (Transmission cont rol module). The ECM uses these signals for ASCD con-
trol. Refer to EC-48, "

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
>> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. Start engine (VDC switch OFF).
2. Drive the vehicle at more than 40 km/h (25 MPH). CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
This procedure may be conducted with the drive wheel s lifted in the shop or by driving the vehicle.
If a road test is expected to be easier , it is unnecessary to lift the vehicle.
3. Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES >> Proceed to EC-449, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
