DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the CAN bus lines is normal.

STEP 1. Check the CAN bus system diagnosis.


Using M.U.T.-III, perform CAN bus diagnosis (Refer to GROUP 54C - Explanation About The M.U.T-III Can Bus Diagnostics ).

Q. Is the check result satisfactory?

Go to Step 2 <vehicles without TCL/ASC>.
Go to Step 3 <vehicles with TCL/ASC>.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting, Can Bus Diagnostic Table ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 2. Check the ABS system diagnosis code <vehicles without TCL/ASC>.


Using M.U.T.-III, perform ABS system diagnosis code (GROUP 35B - Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Function ).

Q. Is any diagnosis code set?

Repair the ABS system (Refer to GROUP 35B - Troubleshooting, Diagnosis Code Chart ). Then go to Step 7.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 3. Check the TCL/ASC system diagnosis code <vehicles with TCL/ASC>.


Using M.U.T.-III, perform TCL/ASC system diagnosis code (GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Function ).

Q. Is any diagnosis code set?

Repair the ASC system (Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting, Diagnosis Code Chart ). Then go to Step 7.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the MPI system diagnosis code.


Using M.U.T.-III, perform MPI system diagnosis code (Refer to GROUP 13B - Troubleshooting, Diagnosis Function ) <135, 4A9> or (Refer to GROUP 13C - Troubleshooting, Diagnosis Function ) <4G1>.

Q. Is any diagnosis code set?

Repair the MPI system (Refer to GROUP 13B - Troubleshooting, Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Trouble Code ) <135, 4A9> or (Refer to GROUP 13C - Troubleshooting, Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Trouble Code ) <4G1>. Then go to Step 7.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the data list.


Using M.U.T.-III, check the data list (Refer to - data list reference table).

  • Item 04: Vehicle speed signal

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A-M/T-ECU <Automated manual transmission> (Refer to GROUP 13B - Engine-ECU, engine-A-M/T-ECU ) <135, 4A9> or (Refer to GROUP 13C - Engine-ECU ) <4G1>. When the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A-M/T-ECU <Automated manual transmission> is replaced, register the encrypted code (Refer to GROUP 54A - Ignition Switch, Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Retest the system


Q. Does a hunting occur?

Replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A-M/T-ECU <Automated manual transmission> (Refer to GROUP 13B - Engine-ECU, engine-A-M/T-ECU ) <135, 4A9> or (Refer to GROUP 13C - Engine-ECU ) <4G1>. When the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A-M/T-ECU <Automated manual transmission> is replaced, register the encrypted code (Refer to GROUP 54A - Ignition Switch, Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table ). Then go to Step 7.
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 7. Retest the system


Q. Does a hunting occur?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
