Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI)
U1101 CAN Communications System Time Out Error A/T Related DataCAUTION:
- 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.
