STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent 

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between 
the powertrain control module and the combination 
meter (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points-How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

NO :  Replace combination meter and then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

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

DTC U1102: ABS-ECU Time-out

CAUTION

If DTC U1102 is set in the combination meter, 
always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
communication circuit is normal.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
 Refer to 

P.54A-57

.

.

DTC SET CONDITION
The combination meter communicates with the 
ABS-ECU through CAN bus lines. If it can not 
receive all the necessary signals from the ABS-ECU, 
DTC U1102 is set.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

CAUTION

If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position 
without starting the engine, DTC (past trouble) 
U1100, U1101 and U1102 may be set on the com-
bination meter after one minutes.

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 

lines between the ABS-ECU and the combination 
meter, the power supply system to the ABS-ECU, 
the ABS-ECU itself, or the combination meter 
may be defective.

Past trouble

• Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 

connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 
lines between the ABS-ECU and the combination 
meter, and the power supply system to the 
ABS-ECU. For diagnosis procedures, refer to 
"How to cope with past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 
00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Ser-
vice Points 

P.00-6

).

NOTE: For a past trouble, you may not find it by 
the MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is 
any failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspec-
tion Service Points-How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

.) and check the CAN bus 

lines. You can narrow down the possible cause of 
the trouble by referring to the DTC, which is set 
regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs 
(Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN bus line Diagnostics 
Flow 

P.54C-6

).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector.

• Malfunction of ABS-ECU

• Malfunction of combination meter 

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

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

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN 

communication system)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line.
Use scan tool MB991958 to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

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

Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart 

P.54C-14

). On 

completion, go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read ABS diagnostic 
trouble code.
Check that the ABS-ECU sets a DTC.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Refer to GROUP 35B, Diagnosis-Diagnostic Trouble 

Code Chart 

P.35B-11

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the MFI 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if the powertrain control module has set DTC U1102 
(ABS-ECU time-out).
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC 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 
ABS-ECU and the combination meter (Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points-How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

NO :  Replace ABS-ECU and then go to step 6.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC 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 
ABS-ECU and the combination meter (Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points-How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

NO :  Replace combination meter and go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Recheck if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
