DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)

54C-45

STEP 15. Check the wiring harness between joint 
connector (CAN2) C-04 and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 
for line-to-line short. Measure the resistance at joint 
connector (CAN2) C-04.
(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN2) and ETACS-ECU 

connector, and check that there is continuity at the harness 
side of joint connector (CAN2).

(2) Check that there is continuity between joint connector 

(CAN2) terminals 6 and 19.

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 16.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness between joint connector 

(CAN2) C-04 and ETACS-ECU connector C-301.

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)

54C-46

STEP 16. 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 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Diagnose CAN bus lines, and check if the scan tool screen 

is as shown in the illustration.

Q: Does the scan tool screen correspond to the 

illustration?
YES : 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

).

NO :  Replace the ETACS-ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 4: Diagnose shorts in the ground to CAN-C bus line.

CAUTION

When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted 
water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.

.

FUNCTION

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

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT CONDITIONS

If DTC U1120 is set, the ETACS-ECU determines 
that there is a failure.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the connector (short to ground 

inside connector)

• Malfunction of the wiring harness (short to ground 

in the CAN-C main or sub bus lines)

• Malfunction of the ECU (ETACS-ECU, or ECUs 

on CAN-C lines failed)

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

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

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

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
