Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good 

condition?
YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair it and then go to Step 7.

STEP 3. Check the following harness wire.

The wire between diagnosis connector C-14 (termi-
nal 16) and junction block connector C-212 (terminal 
1)

Q: Is the harness wire damaged?

YES : 

Repair or replace it and then go to Step 7.

NO : 

Go to Step 7.

STEP 4. Check the earth circuit. Resistance 
measurement at diagnosis connector C-14.

Measure the resistance between terminal 4 and 
earth, and terminal 5 and earth.

OK: 2 ohms or less

Q: Is the resistance 2 ohms or less? 

YES : 

Replace the M.U.T.-II/III and then go to Step 

7.

NO : 

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the following connector.

•

Diagnosis connector C-14
Check the connector, for loose, corroded or dam-
aged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the con-
nector.

Q: Are the connector and terminals in good 

condition?
YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Repair it and then go to Step 7.

•

The wire between diagnosis connector C-14 (termi-

nal 4) and earth

• The wire between diagnosis connector C-14 (ter-

minal 5) and earth

Q: Is any harness wire damaged?

YES : 

Repair or replace it and then go to Step 7.

NO : 

Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Retest the system.

Q: Does the M.U.T.-II/III communicate with the whole 

system?
YES : 

The procedure is complete.

NO : 

Return to Step 1.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Communication between the M.U.T.-II/III and the ABS-ECU is not 
possible.

OPERATION

• The diagnosis code is set by the ABS-ECU (ter-

minal 2) to the diagnostic output terminal (termi-
nal 7) of the diagnosis connector.

• When the diagnosis connector's diagnosis test 

mode control terminal (terminal 1) is earthed, the 
ABS-ECU will go into diagnosis mode.

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

When communication with the M.U.T.-II/III is not pos-
sible, the cause is probably an open circuit in the 
ABS-ECU power circuit or an open circuit in the diag-
nostic output circuit.

PROBABLE CAUSES

The most likely causes for this case are:

• Blown fuse

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the brake modulator hydraulic unit 

(Integrated with ABS-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the power supply circuit. Voltage 
measurement at ABS-ECU connector B-118.

(1) Disconnect ABS-ECU connector B-118 and 

measure at the harness side.

(2) Start the engine.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 10 and 

earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connectors.

•

ABS-ECU connector B-118

•

Junction block connectors C-210, C-211

•

Intermediate connector C-122
Check the connectors for loose, corroded or dam-
aged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the con-
nector.
