Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart 

P.54C-15

). On 

completion, go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, read the A/C 
diagnostic trouble code

YES : Diagnose the A/C system by referring to GROUP 55, 

Auto A/C Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.55-9

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, read the 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked 
systems below, is set.
Engine ECU

• DTC U1110: A/C-ECU time-out

ETACS-ECU

• DTC 013  (U1110): A/C-ECU time-out

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent 

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between 
the A/C-ECU and the multi-centre display unit (Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

).

NO :  Replace A/C-ECU and then go to step 6.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent 

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between 
the A/C-ECU and the  multi-centre display unit (Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

).

NO :  Replace the multi-centre display unit  and then go to 

step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : the procedure is complete.
NO :  Go to Step 1.

DTC 014 (U1108): Combination Meter Time-out

CAUTION

If DTC 014 (U1108) is set in the multi-centre dis-
play, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
communication circuit is normal.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

 Refer to 

P.54A-255

.

.

DTC SET CONDITION

The multi-centre display unit  receives signals from 
the combination meter via CAN bus lines. If the dis-
play unit can not receive the necessary combination 
meter signals, DTC 014 (U1108) will be set.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

CAUTION

If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position 
without starting the engine, DTC (past trouble) 
011 (U1100), 012 (U1101) and 013 (U1110) may be 
set to the combination meter (incorporating 
meter-ECU) after three minutes.

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 

lines between the combination meter and the 
multi-centre display unit , the power supply sys-
tem to the display unit, the display unit itself, or 
the combination meter may be defective.

Past trouble

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 

connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 
lines between the combination meter and the 
multi-centre display unit  , the power supply sys-
tem to the display unit. For diagnosis procedures, 
refer to "How to cope with past trouble" (Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspec-
tion Service Points 

P.00-14

).

NOTE: For a past trouble, you may not find it by the 
MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is any fail-
ure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to GROUP 
00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service 
Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

.) and check the CAN bus lines. You can nar-

row down the possible cause of the trouble by refer-
ring to the DTC, which is set regarding the CAN 
communication-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C, 
CAN bus line Diagnostics Flow 

P.54C-6

).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector.

• Malfunction of combination meter

• Malfunction of multi-centre display unit
