DTC C2203: VIN not recorded

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• When other diagnostic trouble code for ASC-ECU is 

set, troubleshoot that diagnostic trouble code first.

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus 

lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steer-
ing wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake 
fluid pressure sensor (Refer to 

P.35C-282

, 

P.35C-283

 

and 

P.35C-284

).

.

OPERATION

ASC-ECU receives vehicle information from the engine control 
module and stores it.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This diagnostic trouble code is set when ASC-ECU cannot 
receive the vehicle information from the engine control module.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the CAN bus

• Engine control module malfunction

• ASC-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-153

• When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position for 

the first time after the ASC-ECU is replaced.

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

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
lines.
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C 

− 

CAN Bus Diagnostics Table 

P.54C-17

). On 

completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting 
CAN bus lines
(1) Ignition switch "LOCK" (OFF)
(2) Ignition switch "ON"
Q: Is DTC C2203 set?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnostic trouble code
Check that the engine control module sets a diagnostic trouble 
code.
Q: Is any DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the engine control module diagnostic 

trouble code <Refer to GROUP 13A 

− Diagnostic 

Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-49

 (2.4L engine) or 

GROUP 13B 

− Diagnostic trouble code chart 

P.13B-50

 (3.0L engine)>, and then go to Step 5.

NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is 
reset.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF) position
(3) Ignition switch: "ON" position
Q: Is DTC C2203 set?

YES : Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) 

(Refer to 

P.35C-287

), and then go to Step 5.

NO :  If a trouble is solved, it is determined that there is an 

intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged 
connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00 

− 

How to Use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is 
reset.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF) position
(3) Ignition switch: "ON" position
Q: Is DTC C2203 set?

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

DTC C2206: Re-execution of variant coding

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• If the diagnostic trouble code C2206 is set in ASC-ECU, 

always diagnose the CAN bus line. 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 the diagnostic trouble code C2206 is set in 

ASC-ECU, 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 diagnos-
tic trouble code for ETACS-ECU first.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steer-
ing wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake 
fluid pressure sensor (Refer to 

P.35C-282

, 

P.35C-283

 

and 

P.35C-284

).

.

OPERATION

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

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU communicates with ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines. 
This diagnostic trouble code is set if the vehicle information 
stored in ETACS-ECU varies from the one stored when the 
ignition switch was last turned on.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• ETACS-ECU or ASC-ECU which was equipped with other 

vehicle is used.

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
