U1121 Meaning
Several control units are applied to electronically controlled vehicles. These units perform each control with information from various sensors. Thus, sharing signal information from sensors is needed, so CAN communication type whose communication speed is high and insensitive to electrical noise by spark generation is adopted to controlling powertrain (TCM, ECM, CLUSTER, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), 4WD, SAS, EPS). CAN communication consists of CAN-BUS HIGH, CAN BUS LOW, and two 120 ohm resistance in the circuit. If the 4WD ECU doesn't get some ESC signals from the ESC module, it sets U1126.More Information
