Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: ECM Communication Circuit Malfunction (C1203)
DESCRIPTION
The circuit is used to send TRAC and VSC control 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 system.
for 4WD or w/ Rear Differential Lock:
The rear differential lock identification signal is sent from the 4 wheel drive control ECU to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) via the CAN communication system.
