VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1203

DTC Code DTC Name
C1203 ECM Communication Circuit

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) through the CAN communication.

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

Any of the following is detected:


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

  • No stored information for destination.

  • Incorrect installation of the skid control ECU or ECM.

  • Incorrect ECM installed, or ECM malfunction

  • Skid Control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

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