54A-38

Code No.U1109: ETACS-ECU Time-out

CAUTION

If diagnosis code U1109 is set in the combination 
meter, diagnose the CAN main bus line.

CAUTION

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

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The combination meter receives signal from the 
ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines. If it can not receive 
all the necessary signals from the ETACS-ECU, 
diagnosis code U1109 is set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The M.U.T.-III shows a diagnosis code status as 

active.

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

lines between the ETACS-ECU and the combina-
tion meter, the power supply system to the 
ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU itself, or the com-
bination meter may be defective.

The M.U.T.-III shows a diagnosis code status as 

stored.

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 

connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 
lines between the ETACS-ECU and the combina-
tion meter, and the power supply system to the 
ETACS-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to 
"How to cope with past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 
00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Serv-
ice Points 

P.00-13

).

NOTE: For a past trouble, you may not find it by the 

M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is 
any failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspec-
tion Service Points 

−

 How to Cope with Intermit-

tent Malfunctions 

P.00-13

). and check the CAN 

bus lines. You can narrow down the possible 
cause of the trouble by referring to the diagnosis 
code, which is set regarding the CAN communi-
cation-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54D, 
Explanation about the M.U.T.-III CAN Bus Diag-
nostics 

P.54D-7

).

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of combination meter

P.54D-13

). Repair the CAN bus line and go 

to Step 4.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check that the ETACS-ECU sets a diagnosis code.

After the combination meter is replaced, 
then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) 

→ ON
