STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the combination meter.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" 

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the combination meter.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00 

− How to use 

Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

DTC U0141: ETACS CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0141 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from ETACS-ECU cannot be received, 
the combination meter sets the DTC U0141.

.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA

With the ignition switch in the ON position, system 
voltage between 10 

− 16 volts (data from 

ETACS-ECU), power supply fuse is OK, or odometer 
value is 80.5 km (50 miles) or more, and the commu-
nication with ETACS-ECU cannot be established for 
2,500 ms or more, the combination meter determines 
that a problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The CAN bus line may be defective

• The combination meter may be defective

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

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

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with 

CAN communication system)

diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the ETACS-ECU (Refer to 

P.54A-582

).

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the combination meter.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" 

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the combination meter.

DTC U0151: SRS-ECU CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0151 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from SRS-ECU cannot be received, the 
combination meter sets DTC U0151.
