Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Lost Communication with ECM (C1437)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the ECM via the CAN communication system.

DTC No.

Detection Item

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

C1437

Lost Communication with ECM

When voltage at terminal +BS is 10 to 17.4 V and vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or more, data cannot be sent to ECM continuously for 2 seconds or more.

  • CAN communication system (skid control ECU to ECM)
  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)
  • ECM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

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

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION)

(a) Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to the DTC (See page ). ABS/VSC/TRAC ).

Yaw Rate Sensor Malfunction (C1436)
DESCRIPTION The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) via the CAN communication system. The airbag sensor ...

Steering Angle Sensor Initialization Incomplete (C1439,C1445)
DESCRIPTION The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) acquires steering angle sensor zero point every time the ignition switch is turned ON and the vehicle is driven at 35 km/h (22 mph) or m ...

Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1413/13)
DESCRIPTION The cooler thermistor sensor (evaporator temperature sensor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioner unit to detect the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator and is used to control the air conditioning. It sends signals to the air condi ...

Side Airbag Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction (B1625/22)
DESCRIPTION The side airbag sensor assembly LH consists of parts such as the safing sensor, the diagnostic circuit and the lateral deceleration sensor. When the airbag sensor assembly receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines whether or not the SRS should be activate ...

Output Speed Sensor Circuit Short to Battery (P072012,P072014,P072031)
DESCRIPTION This sensor detects the rotation speed of the transmission output shaft and sends signals to the ECM. By comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the output shaft speed sensor signal (SP2), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engi ...
