The hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly maintains communication with other computers, including the ECM, skid control ECU and power steering ECU. Therefore, if the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly outputs a warning, it is necessary to check and record the DTCs of all systems.
If DTCs are present, check the relevant systems.
Tech Tips
If DTCs for the CAN communication system are present in addition to other DTCs, first troubleshoot and repair any malfunctions in the CAN communication system.
