STEP 3. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC U0001 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC U0100: Engine time-out error

 

DTC U0101: TC-SST time-out error

 

DTC U0126: Steering wheel sensor time-out error

 

DTC U0141: ETACS time-out error

 

DTC U0136: AWC time-out error

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.

• If diagnostic trouble codes U0100, U0101, U0126, 

U0141, and U0136 are 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.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

• When the steering wheel sensor is replaced, always 

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

P.35C-267

.)

• 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-266

, 

P.35C-267

, 

P.35C-268

, and 

P.35C-269

.)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

ASC-ECU communicates with the engine control module, 
TC-SST-ECU, steering wheel sensor, ETACS-ECU, and 
AWC-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

The diagnostic trouble code is stored if ASC-ECU cannot 
receive the signal sent from other ECU for a specified period.

.

DTC U0141

• Wiring harness or connector failure of CAN bus line

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• ASC-ECU malfunction

DTC U0136

• Wiring harness or connector failure of CAN bus line

• AWC-ECU malfunction

• ASC-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958 Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827 M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910 M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

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-14

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 5.

STEP 2. Scan tool diagnostic trouble code for other 
systems
Using scan tool MB991958, check if any other diagnostic trou-
ble code is set in the ECU corresponding to the relevant diag-
nosis.
Q: Is other DTC set?

YES : Perform troubleshooting for the diagnostic trouble 

code that is set.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

DTC U0125: G and yaw rate sensor message time-out error/message error

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-266

.)

• 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-266

, 

P.35C-267

, 

P.35C-268

, and 

P.35C-269

.)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The G and yaw rate sensor outputs the signal to ASC-ECU and 
S-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.
