Code No.U1073 Bus Off


caution
  • If diagnosis code U1073 is set in the combination meter, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.
  • Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


If the combination meter ceases communicating once (i.e. bus off) and then returns to it, the combination meter will not communicate for three minutes immediately after that point. This three-minute period is called "Penalty mode." Immediately after the combination meter returns to communication, the diagnosis code is set.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


The wiring harness wire or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector, or the combination meter may be defective.
