HINT:

The hybrid vehicle control ECU maintains communication with other computers, including the ECM, skid control ECU assembly and power steering ECU assembly. Therefore, if the hybrid vehicle control ECU outputs a warning, it is necessary to check and record the DTCs of all systems.

(a) If DTCs are stored, check the relevant systems.

HINT:

If DTCs for the CAN communication system are stored in addition to other DTCs, first troubleshoot and repair any malfunctions in the CAN communication system.
