Inspection Procedure 9

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 9: ASC Operation Display Stays ON after the Engine is Started.

CAUTION
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines. Refer to Trouble code diagnosis CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart
^ Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
^ When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sensor.

OPERATION
ASC-ECU sends the illumination request signal of the ASC indicator lamp to the combination meter through ETACS-ECU via the CAN communication.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
This may be caused by faults in the CAN bus line, ETACS-ECU, combination meter or ASC-ECU.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ ETACS-ECU malfunction
^ Combination meter malfunction
^ ASC-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
^ MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
^ MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (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 lines.
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Repair the CAN bus lines. Refer to CAN Bus Diagnostics CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart Then go to Step 8.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check the DTC
Use scan tool to check the DTC for the ASC system.
Q: Is the DTC set?
YES: Carry out the diagnosis for the DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions. Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
NO: Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Actuator test of combination meter
Perform the following actuator test by the combination meter system, and check if the ASC warning display illuminates normally. (Refer to Combination Meter, Actuator Test Table Actuator Test Reference Table.)
^ Item No. 13: Indicator 4
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace the combination meter. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 4. Check the ASC-ECU power supply circuit system.
Refer to Inspection Procedure 13.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Diagnose the power supply circuit of the ASC-ECU (Refer to Inspection Procedure 13).

STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, check the other system DTC
Using scan tool, check that DTC U0141 is not set by the combination meter system.
Q: Is the DTC set?
YES: Diagnose the combination meter. (Refer to Combination Meter, Troubleshooting Combination Meter.) Then go to Step 8.
NO: Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, check the other system DTC
Using scan tool, check that DTC U0121 is not set by the ETACS system.
Q: Is the DTC set?
YES: Perform troubleshooting on ETACS-ECU. (Refer to ETACS, Troubleshooting Combination Meter.) Then go to Step 8.
NO: Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Retest the system.
Q: Does the ASC warning display turn OFF normally?
YES: Intermittent malfunction (Refer to How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction.)
NO: Replace the hydraulic unit (ASC-ECU), and then go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Retest the system.
Q: Does the ASC warning display OFF normally?
YES: The procedure is complete.
NO: Return to Step 1.
