STEP 5. 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

(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

A poor connection, open circuit or other 

intermittent malfunction is present in the 
lines between the engine-ECU <M/T> or 
engine-CVT-ECU <CVT> and the 
secondary speed sensor (Refer to GROUP 
00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points 

− How to Cope with 

Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-13

).

NO : 

Replace the combination meter, and then go 
to Step 6.

STEP 6. 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

(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

The procedure is complete.

NO : 

Go to Step 1.

Code No.U1206 Flag Invalid

CAUTION

If diagnosis code U1206 is set in the combination 
meter, diagnose the CAN main bus line.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

When the ignition switch is in the LOCK (OFF) posi-
tion, the combination meter receives door-open sig-
nal or communication standby instruction from the 
ETACS-ECU and keeps CAN communication. If 
there is a contradiction between these two signals, 
diagnosis code U1206 will be set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

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

active.

• The door switch system of the ETACS-ECU, the 

ETACS-ECU, or the combination 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 between the 
ETACS-ECU and the door switch, and the power 
supply system to the ETACS-ECU. For diagnosis 
procedures, refer to "How to cope with past trou-
ble" (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Trouble-
shooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-13

).

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of combination meter

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

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

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis - Can Bus Diagnostics Table 

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.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Diagnose the CAN system (Refer to 

GROUP 54B or 54C, Troubleshooting 

P.54B-18

 or 

P.54C-15

).

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Replace the ETACS-ECU, and check 
whether the diagnosis code is reset.
After the ETACS-ECU is replaced, then check that 
the diagnosis code is reset.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Replace the combination meter, and then go 
to Step 4.

Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) 

→ ON

(3) Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : . 

The procedure is complete.

NO : . 

Go to Step 1.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART

M1543007201484

CAUTION

During diagnosis, a diagnosis code associated 
with other system may be set when the ignition 
switch is turned on with connector(s) discon-
nected. On completion, confirm all systems for 
diagnosis code(s). If diagnosis code(s) are set, 
erase them all.

CAUTION

When the battery cable is disconnected or the 
combination meter is removed, the fuel gauge 
learned value will be erased. To let the display 
unit re-learn it, enter the vehicle speed (by driv-
ing the vehicle or entering simulated vehicle 
speed) and then stop the vehicle.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

Inspection Procedure 1: Communication with the M.U.T.-III is not Possible.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the system does not communicate with the 
M.U.T.-III, power supply to the diagnosis connector 
or CAN bus lines may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check that the engine-ECU <M/T> or 
engine-CVT-ECU <CVT> communicates with the 
M.U.T.-III.
Check that the M.U.T.-III communicates with the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU <CVT> 
when the M.U.T.-III is operated..

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Perform MPI system troubleshooting. (Refer 
to GROUP 13A <4A9>, Troubleshooting 

P.13A-20

, or GROUP 13B <4G1>, 

Troubleshooting 

P.13B-18

.).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : 

Diagnose the power supply circuit. Refer to 

P.54A-44

.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis - Can Bus Diagnostics Table
