The HECU send requirement data, such as Torque reduction, the number of fuel cut cylinders, and TCS control requests, to the Engine ECU & TCU through CAN bus line. The Engine ECU performs fuel cut functions according to requests from the HECU and retards ignition timing by torque reduction requests. The TCU maintains current gear positions during TCS control time, in order not to increase power which causes a Kickdown shift.
The HECU checks the CAN communication lines for normal TCS control, and sets this code if re-initialization is tried for 15 times in sequence without success.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Open or short monitoring | ● Open or short circuit in CAN line |
Monitoring Period | ● Continuous | |
Enable Conditions | ● A CAN BUS off fault is established if re-initialization is tried for 15 times in sequence without success. | |
Fail Safe | ● Inhibit the ESP control and allow the ABS/EBD control.Meanwhile, stop checking the ESP switch failure under the ESP control. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure.
Ignition "OFF".
Measure resistance between terminal "14" of the HECU harness connector and terminal "35" of the HECU harness connector.
Specification : Approx. 60 Ω
Is the measured resistance within specifications?
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by open or short in CAN signal harnessor was repaired and HECU memory was not cleared. Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
▶ Check for open or short in CAN signal harness between terminal "14" of the HECU harness connector and terminal "35" of the HECU harness connector. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode
Using a scantool, Clear DTC.
Operate the vehicle within DTC Detecting Condition in General Information.
Are any DTCs present ?
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
▶ System performing to specification at this time.
