STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III, 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position.
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.
(5) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Is code No.C1860 or C1861 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 1.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

Code No.U1073: Bus off

CAUTION

• If diagnosis code U1073 is set in the 

ABS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus 
line. If there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, 
an incorrect diagnosis code may be set.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that 

the communication circuit is normal.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

This code is stored when the ABS-ECU has ceased 
the CAN communication (bus off). Then, if a penalty 
mode is entered after approximately five minutes, 
regular data transmission will be cancelled.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with 

ABS-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III, 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position.
(1) Connect MUT-III to the 16-pin diagnosis 

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 check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 
54D, CAN bus line Diagnostic flow 

P.54D-9

). Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. MUT-III diagnosis code

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

position.

Q: Is code No.U1073 set?

YES : 

Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with 

ABS - ECU). Then go to Step 3.

NO : 

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

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

position.

Q: Is code No.U1073 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 1.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE 
SYMPTOMS

M1352011400761

NOTE: If steering movements are made when 
driving at high speed, or when driving on road 
surfaces with low frictional resistance, or when 
passing over bumps, the ABS may operate although 
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, 
when getting information from the customer, check if 
the problem occurred while driving under such 
conditions as these.
NOTE: During ABS operation, the brake pedal may 
vibrate a little or may not be able to be pressed. Such 
conditions are due to intermittent changes in 
hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent 
the wheels from locking. This is normal.
