U1128

DTC U1128: Failure information on combination meter.

CAUTION:

- If DTC U1128 is set in the ETACS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
- Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The ETACS-ECU receives combination meter-related signal from the combination meter via the CAN bus lines. If a fail-safe related data is contained in the signal from the combination meter, DTC U1128 will be stored.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

Current trouble

- The wiring harness wire or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector, the ECM[ M/T] or PCM[ A/T], the combination meter or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.
Past trouble

- If DTC U1128 is stored as a past trouble, carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring and connector(s) in the CAN bus line between the combination meter and the ETACS-ECU, and the power supply system to the combination meter. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to cope with past trouble" How to Treat Past Trouble ).
NOTE:
You cannot find a past trouble, by the M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is a failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow down the possible cause of the trouble by referring to the DTC, which is set regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs CAN Bus Line Diagnostics Flow ).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- The ETACS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB992006: Extra Fine Probe
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.





(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect SWS monitor How to Connect SWS Monitor."
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES Go to Step 2.

NO Repair the CAN bus line CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] diagnostic trouble code.





Check whether engine and transaxle DTCs are set or not.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Check for engine and transaxle DTCs.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Diagnose the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) [2.4 L engine] or [3.8 L engine]).

NO Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the combination meter diagnostic trouble code.





Check whether the combination meter-related DTC is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Check whether the combination meter-related DTC is set.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Diagnose the combination meter Combination Meter).

NO Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.





Check again if the DTC is set.
(1)Erase the DTC.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Replace the ETACS-ECU. When the ETACS-ECU is replaced, register the encrypted code. Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table. On completion, verify that the DTC is not reset.

NO There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions).
