DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU receives signals from the ECM via the CAN communication system.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1437	When the IG1 terminal voltage is 10 V or higher and the vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or more, data cannot be sent from the ECM for 2 seconds or more.	Engine control system CAN communication system Master cylinder solenoid (Skid control ECU)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform calibration (See page ).

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
).
