DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

Use MUT-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

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 lines. (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart 

P.54D-16

). Then go to Step 4.

STEP 2. MUT-III diagnosis code

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III, 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position.
(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 any diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Refer to 

P.35B-7

, Diagnosis Code Chart. 

Then go to Step 4 .

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. MUT-III other system diagnosis code

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) Check for Combination meter system diagnosis 

code.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(5) Disconnect MUT-III.

Q: Is code No.U1102 set?

YES : 

Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with 

TCL/ASC-ECU). Then go to Step 4.

NO : 

Replace the combination meter assembly. 
(Refer to GROUP 54A, Combination Meter 
Assembly 

P.54A-84

). Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Retest the system

Q: Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Do 

the ABS warning lamp illuminate for three 
seconds, and then go out after the engine starts?

YES : 

The procedure is complete.

NO : 

Return to Step 1.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: ABS System dose not Operate.

COMMENT

The fail-safe function is probably canceling ABS 
system. In this case, MUT-III can be used to Retest 
each system by checking the diagnosis codes.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the CAN bus line.

• Malfunction of the ABS-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Hydraulic unit check

Refer to 

P.35B-75

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Connect the brake pipes correctly, repair the 
external brake lines, or replace the hydraulic 
unit.

STEP 2. Verify that the condition described by 
the customer exists.

Q: Can any faults be found with the brake operation?

YES : 

Check the brake system related 

components except the ABS system.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

When the system is normal.

When the ABS-ECU shut off ABS operation.

When the diagnosis system stops the ABS-ECU, the 
MUT-III display data will be unreliable.

ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE

M1352011600721

The MUT-III activates the following actuators for 
testing.
NOTE: If the ABS-ECU runs down, actuator testing 
cannot be carried out.
NOTE: Actuator testing is only possible when the 
vehicle is stationary.
NOTE: The ABS warning lamp continues illuminating 
until the communication between MUT-III and 
ABS-ECU is completed.

Use the following steps to remove the connector 
cover and measure the terminal voltage.

1. Move the lock lever of the ABS-ECU connector as 

shown in the illustration, and then disconnect the 
ABS-ECU connector.

2. Connect special tool ABS check harness 

(MB991974) to measure the voltages between 
each check connector terminals and earth 
terminals 13 or 26.

TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECK CHART

1. Measure the voltages between earth terminal (13) 

or (26) and each respective terminal.

2. The terminal layouts are shown in the illustrations 

below.

NOTE: Do not measure terminal voltage for 
approximately three seconds after the ignition switch 
is turned to the "ON" position. The ABS-ECU 
performs the initial check during that period.
