U1101 CAN Communications System Time Out Error A/T Related Data
If DTC U1101 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.
Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,
ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.

U1120 CAN Communications System TCL Uncontrollable by Engine Malfunction
If DTC U1120 is set in the ABS/TCL-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line. If
there is any fault in the CAN bus lines, an
incorrect DTC may be set.
Whenever the ABS/TCL-ECU is replaced,
ensure that the communication circuit is nor-
mal.
The engine control system-related DTC may
be set when DTC U1120 is set. (For details
refer to GROUP 00, Intersystem Affiliated DTC
Reference Table P.00-17). Diagnose the
engine control system first when the engine
control system-related DTC is set.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
.
DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives engine system-related
signals from the Engine-ECU via CAN bus lines. If a
fail-safe related data is contained in the signal from
the Engine-ECU, DTC U1120 will be stored.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE
