DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-213

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

• Do not drop the G and yaw rate sensor or subject it to a 

shock.

• When the G and yaw rate sensor is replaced, always 

perform the calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the 
neutral point. (Refer to 

P.35C-287

.)

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, after turning the ignition switch ON and OFF 
(vehicle information from ETACS-ECU is registered), 
always perform the calibration of steering wheel sen-
sor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pressure sen-
sor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to 

P.35C-287

, 

P.35C-289

, 

P.35C-294

, and 

P.35C-295

.)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The G and yaw rate sensor outputs the signal to ASC-ECU and 
AWC-ECU via the special CAN bus lines (Local CAN).

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This diagnostic trouble code is set if ASC-ECU cannot receive 
the signal sent from the G and yaw rate sensor even when the 
voltage supplied to ASC-ECU is normal.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Wiring harness or connector failure in special CAN bus lines 

(Local CAN) between ASC-ECU and G and yaw rate sen-
sor.

• G and yaw rate sensor malfunction
• ASC-ECU malfunction
• External noise interference

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
lines.
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

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

Troubleshooting 

P.54C-15

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Check for diagnostic trouble codes
Check if diagnostic trouble code No. U0251, U0440, and 
U0435 are simultaneously set in ASC-ECU.
Q: Are DTCs U0251, U0440 or U0435 set?

YES : Perform troubleshooting for the diagnostic trouble 

code that is set. (Refer to 

P.35C-219

.)

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. DTC recheck after repairing the CAN bus line
Q: Is DTC U0125 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 4. Connector check: A-05 ASC-ECU connector, C-46 
AWC-ECU connector, C-47 intermediate connector, C-50 
joint connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair the connector, and then go to Step 8.

STEP 5. Wiring harness check between A-05 ASC-ECU 
connector terminal No. 18 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor 
connector terminal No. 2, between A-05 ASC-ECU 
connector terminal No. 19 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor 
connector terminal No. 3, between C-46 AWC-ECU 
connector terminal No. 9 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor 
connector terminal No. 2, between C-46 AWC-ECU 
connector terminal No. 10 and C-38 G and yaw rate sensor 
connector terminal No. 3

• Open or short circuit check of communication circuit 

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness, and then go to Step 8.

STEP 6. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC U0125 set?

YES : Replace the G and yaw rate sensor. (Refer to 

P.35C-304

.) Then go to Step 7.

NO :  Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 − How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

.)

STEP 7. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC U0125 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (incorporates in 

ASC-ECU). (Refer to 

P.35C-298

.) Then go to Step 8.

NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC U0401: Engine malfunction detected

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

• If diagnostic trouble code U0401 is set in ASC-ECU, 

always diagnose CAN bus lines. If there is any fault in 
the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, after turning the ignition switch ON and OFF 
(vehicle information from ETACS-ECU is registered), 
always perform the calibration of steering wheel sen-
