Traction Control System (Tcl)

DTC U1101: PCM time-out (related to transaxle)

CAUTION:
^ 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 normal.

DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives A/T system-related signals from the PCM via CAN bus lines.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE TO SET ARE:)
^ Damaged harness or connector.
^ Malfunction of the PCM.
^ Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: V.C.I.
^ MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable
^ MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A
