DTC U1073: Bus Off
If DTC U1073 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the
CAN main bus line.
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT
DTC U1073 will be stored when the A/C-ECU ceases
CAN communication (bus off) and then resumes the
communication when the ignition switch is turned to
the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The wiring harness wire or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector, or the A/C-ECU may
be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Defective connector(s) or wiring harness
