DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-192

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

).

• 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

The ASC-ECU stores diagnostic trouble codes and failure infor-
mation in the EEPROM

*

.

ASC-ECU (EEPROM

*

)contains the power supply circuit (termi-

nal No.2). 
NOTE: 

*

:EEPROM (Electrical Erasable and Programmable 

ROM)

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

• This diagnostic trouble code is set when the failure informa-

tion stored in the EEPROM is not reliable. The failure infor-
mation stored in the past is not output, and only this 
diagnostic trouble code is set.

• This diagnostic trouble code may occur when ASC-ECU 

power supply shutdown or drop between ASC-ECU is writ-
ing a data to the EEPROM.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Disconnection of the ASC-ECU connector or the battery ter-

minal when the ignition switch is ON

• Loose battery terminal

• Abnormality in battery

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• ASC-ECU malfunction

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-193

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

• MB991997: ASC check harness

STEP 1.Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line.
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-10

). On 

completion, and then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting 
CAN bus lines
Q: Is DTC C1608 set?

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

STEP 3. Battery check
Refer to GROUP 54A 

− Battery Test 

P.54A-9

.

Q: Is the battery in good condition?

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

STEP 4. Charging system check
Refer to GROUP 16 

− On−vehicle Service/Output Current Test 

P.16-9

.

Q: Is the charging system in good condition?

YES : Replace the battery. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  Repair or replace the charging system component(s).

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at the A-02 ASC-ECU 
connector
(1) Disconnect the connector, connect special tool MB991997 

to the harness-side connector, and measure the voltage at 
the special tool connector side.
NOTE: Do not connect the special tool MB991997 to 
ASC-ECU.

(2) Measure the voltage between the terminal No.2 and the 

body ground.

OK: Approximately system voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Connector check: A-02 ASC-ECU connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The open or short circuit may be present in the power 

supply circuit. Repair the wiring harness between the 
A-02 ASC-ECU connector terminal No.02 and fuse 
No.17.

NO  :  Repair the defective connector.
