FUNCTION
If a line-to-line short is present in the CAN-C lines, 
this diagnosis result will be set.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS
If only diagnosis code U0001 is set, the ETACS-ECU 
determines that there is a failure.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the connector (joint connectors or 

ECU connectors improperly connected)

• Malfunction of the wiring harness (line-to-line 

short in the CAN-C main or sub bus lines)

• Malfunction of the ECU (ECU on CAN-C lines 

failed)

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: C-03 joint connector 
(CAN2) and C-124 joint connector (CAN3)

CAUTION

The strand end of the twist wire should be within 
10 cm from the connector. For details refer to .

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES <vehicles with ASC or AFS> : 

Go to Step 2.

YES <vehicles without ASC and without AFS with 
reversing sensor system> : 

Go to Step 3.

YES <vehicles without ASC and without AFS 
without reversing sensor system> : 

Go to Step 4.

NO  : 

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between C-211 
steering wheel sensor connector and C-03 joint 
connector (CAN2) for line-to-line short.

CAUTION

• A digital multimeter should be used. For 

details refer to .

• The test wiring harness should be used. For 

details refer to .

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN2), and check 

that there is continuity at the harness side.

(2) Check that there is continuity between C-03 joint 

connector terminal No.9 and 20.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES <vehicles with reversing sensor system> : 

Go 

to Step 3.

YES <vehicles without reversing sensor system> : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between C-40 
Corner sensor/back sensor-ECU connector and 
C-03 joint connector (CAN2) for line-to-line short.

CAUTION

• A digital multimeter should be used. For 

details refer to .

• The test wiring harness should be used. For 

details refer to .

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN2), and check 

that there is continuity at the harness side.

(2) Check that there is continuity between C-03 joint 

connector terminal No.7 and 18.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Go to Step 12.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between C-301 
ETACS-ECU connector and C-03 joint connector 
(CAN2) for line-to-line short.

CAUTION

• A digital multimeter should be used. For 

details refer to .

• The test wiring harness should be used. For 

details refer to .

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN2), and check 

that there is continuity at the harness side.

(2) Check that there is continuity between C-03 joint 

connector terminal No.11 and 22.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES <vehicles with AFS> : 

Go to Step 5.

YES <vehicles without AFS> : 

Go to Step 6.

NO  : 

Go to Step 13.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between C-14 
headlamp automatic levelling-ECU connector 
and C-124 joint connector (CAN3) for line-to-line 
short.

CAUTION

• A digital multimeter should be used. For 

details refer to .

• The test wiring harness should be used. For 

details refer to .

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN3), and check 

that there is continuity at the harness side.

(2) Check that there is continuity between C-124 

joint connector terminal No.7 and 18 <Petrol>.

OK: No continuity

(3) Check that there is continuity between C-124 

joint connector terminal No.8 and 19 <Diesel>.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Go to Step 14.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between A-04 
ABS-ECU connector <vehicles without ASC> or 
A-58 ASC-ECU connector <vehicles with ASC> 
and C-124 joint connector (CAN3) for line-to-line 
short.

CAUTION

• A digital multimeter should be used. For 

details refer to .

• The test wiring harness should be used. For 

details refer to .

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN3), and check 

that there is continuity at the harness side.
