DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
These diagnosis code will be set under the cases 
below.

Code No. C1278

• When the solenoid valve relay monitor judges 

that the solenoid valve relay is turned "ON" 
although it actually is turned "OFF"

Code No. C1279

• When the solenoid valve relay monitor judges 

that the solenoid valve relay is turned "OFF" 
although it actually is turned "ON"

PROBABLE CAUSES

set are:

• Fusible link malfunction

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the hydraulic unit assembly (inte-

grated with ASTC-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis.
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 
54C 

− CAN Bus Diagnostics Table .). On

(2) Measure the resistance between the A-48 ASTC-

ECU connector terminal No.12 and the body 
earth, and between the terminal No.24 and body 
earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2 

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 8.

NO : 

The open circuit may be present in the earth 
circuit. Repair the wiring harness between 
the A-48 ASTC-ECU connector terminal 
No.12 and the body earth, and between the 
A-48 ASTC-ECU connector terminal No.24 
and the body earth. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Check that the ABS warning lamp, Brake warning 

lamp, ASTC indicator lamp and ASTC OFF 
indicator lamp goes out.

(6) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Are the diagnosis code No.C1278 or C1279 set?

YES : 

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly 

(integrated with ASTC-ECU) (Refer to 

P.35C-140

.). Then go to Step 9.

NO : 

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 
00 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions .).

STEP 9. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Check that the ABS warning lamp, Brake warning 

lamp, ASTC indicator lamp and ASTC OFF 
indicator lamp goes out.

(6) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Are the diagnosis code No.C1278 or C1279 set?

CAUTION

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an 
incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Diagnose 
the CAN bus lines before the diagnosis codes 
(Refer to GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Diagnostics 

Table .).
OPERATION
ASTC-ECU monitors if the lever is shifted to the 
reverse position.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITION
This code is set when the power supply and wheel 
speed sensor are normal and ASTC-ECU receives 
the signal that the shift lever is at the reverse position 
while the vehicle drives at 50 km/h or more.

PROBABLE CAUSES
The most likely causes for this diagnosis code to set 
is:

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the back-up lamp switch

• Malfunction of the hydraulic unit assembly (inte-

grated with ASTC-ECU)

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Is code No.C1291 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check ASTC-ECU connector A-48 and

corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Check the back-lamp switch (Refer to 
GROUP 22C, Transmission Inspection .). 
Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the harness wires between ASTC-
ECU connector A-48 terminal No.32 and back-
lamp switch connector B-02 terminal 1.
Check the short to power supply between each har-
ness connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 
6.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
