DTC U1120: Failure Information on ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] (Related to Engine)

CAUTION:
If DTC U1120 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the CAN main bus line.

CAUTION:
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The A/C-ECU receives the vehicle speed signal and the coolant temperature from the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] via CAN bus lines. If failure information is sent to the vehicle speed signal and the coolant temperature, DTC U1120 will be set.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- Malfunction of the A/C-ECU.
- Malfunction of the harness (CAN line is open/shorted to ground)
- Malfunction of connector
- Malfunction of the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T]

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
