Traction Control System (Tcl)

DTC U1120: CAN Communications System TCL Uncontrollable by Engine Malfunction

CAUTION:
^ 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 normal.
^ The engine control system-related DTC may be set when DTC U1120 is set. Diagnose the engine control system first when the engine control system-related DTC is set.

DTC SET CONDITION
The ABS/TCL-ECU receives engine system-related signals from the ECM or PCM via CAN bus lines. If a fail-safe related data is contained in the signal from the PCM, DTC U1120 will be stored.

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