VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1203, C1270

DTC Code DTC Name
C1203 ECM Communication Circuit Malfunction
C1270 Initialization Incomplete (Test Mode DTC)

DESCRIPTION

This circuit is used to send TRC and VSC operation information from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) to the ECM, and engine control information from the ECM to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) via CAN communication.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1203 ECM Communication Circuit Malfunction

Either of the following is detected:


  1. Engine, drivetrain and destination information sent from the ECM does not match the information stored in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

  2. No stored information for destination.

  • An incorrect ECU is installed.

  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)
C1270 Initialization Incomplete (Test Mode DTC) Detected only during Test Mode.

  • ECM

  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

  • CAN communication system (skid control ECU to ECM)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform zero point calibration and store system information.

  • Before replacing the ECM, refer to Service Bulletin.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK PART NUMBER (ECM)


    1. Check that the proper ECM is installed.

      OK
      Proper ECM is installed.

    2. Check if the ECM was replaced before the DTC was stored.

      OK
      ECM was not replaced.

  2. CHECK PART NUMBER (BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)


    1. Check that a proper skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is installed.

      OK
      Proper skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is installed.

    2. Check if the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) had been replaced before the DTC was stored.

      OK
      Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) had not been replaced.
