NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC U1415: Coding not completed/Data fail

CAUTION

• If DTC U1415 is set, diagnose the CAN bus 

lines.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the vehicle information data is not registered to the 
combination meter, the WCM sets DTC U1415.

.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

With the global coding counter value "0," if all the glo-
bal coding data (vehicle information) are not stored, 
the WCM determines that a problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The CAN bus line may be defective.

• The WCM may be defective.

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective.

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 (Vehicles with 

CAN communication system)

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM)

42C-77

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) 

P.42C-7

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

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

Diagnosis 

P.54C-17

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ETACS-ECU 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if a coding-related DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to 

P.54A-733

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the WCM.
(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 WCM and register the ID codes. (Refer to 

P.42C-10

.)

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 

P.00-15

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM)

42C-78

Code No.U1417 Implausible coding data

CAUTION

• If diagnostic trouble code U1417 is set in WCM, always 

diagnose the CAN bus lines. If there is any fault in the 
CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code 
may be set. In this case, the set diagnostic trouble code 
is not highly reliable.

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the communica-

tion circuit is normal.

• When diagnostic trouble code U1417 is set in WCM, the 

diagnostic trouble code may also be set in ETACS-ECU. 
When the diagnostic trouble code is set in ETACS-ECU, 
carry out the diagnosis of the diagnostic trouble code 
for ETACS-ECU first.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

WCM receives the vehicle information stored in the 
ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

WCM communicates with ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines. This 
diagnostic trouble code is set when the vehicle information 
received from the ETACS-ECU is invalid.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• Engine control module malfunction

• ETACS-ECUs have been interchanged between two vehi-

cles.

• WCM malfunction

• External noise interference

• WCMs have been interchanged between two vehicles.
