Causes

  • ABS/ESP ECU not powered or has internal fault
  • Open or short in CAN High/Low wiring to the ABS/ESP ECU
  • Corroded/damaged connector or poor pin contact at the ABS/ESP ECU
  • Missing or faulty CAN termination (open or incorrect resistance)
  • Blown fuse or loss of ground/supply to the ABS/ESP ECU
  • Another module pulling down the CAN bus or producing noise

Symptoms

  • ABS and/or ESP warning lamp illuminated
  • Loss of ABS/ESP functionality (braking assistance or stability control disabled)
  • Possible loss of related functions (traction control, brake light indicators)
  • Intermittent or permanent failure of speed-related messages to other modules
  • No ABS/ESP data visible on diagnostic scanner or CAN trace

What to check

  • Scan vehicle for current and historic codes from all ECUs and note freeze-frame data
  • Visual inspection of ABS ECU connector and harness for corrosion, damage, pins pushed out or water ingress
  • Check fuses and relays that feed ABS/ESP ECU power and accessory supplies
  • Measure supply voltage and ground at ABS ECU pins with ignition on
  • Check CAN bus wiring continuity and for short to battery or ground
  • Measure CAN termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L (typical ~60 Ω)

Signal parameters

  • CAN_H idle voltage ≈ 2.5 V (single-ended)
  • CAN_L idle voltage ≈ 2.5 V (single-ended)
  • Differential idle voltage ≈ 0 V, dominant ≈ 2 V differential
  • Typical ABS message period: often 10–100 ms (varies by model)
  • CAN data rates commonly 250 kbps or 500 kbps depending on vehicle
  • Termination resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L ≈ 60 Ω (two 120 Ω terminators in parallel)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Read and record codes from all modules, note any related U- or B- codes. Clear codes and see if U1113 returns.
  2. Attempt to monitor CAN traffic with a diagnostic tool. Confirm absence of ABS ECU messages (check expected message IDs and frequency from wiring diagram/service info).
  3. Perform visual inspection at ABS ECU connector; disconnect and inspect pins for damage or corrosion. Reconnect and wiggle-test while monitoring CAN to check for intermittent contact.
  4. Check ABS ECU +12V (or ignition supply) and ground pins with DMM. Verify proper voltages with ignition ON and engine running as required.
  5. Measure CAN_H and CAN_L voltages at the ABS ECU connector and elsewhere on the network. Compare to expected idle levels and look for shorts to supply or ground.
  6. Measure end-to-end CAN termination resistance (engine off). If not ~60 Ω, locate missing or damaged terminator(s).
  7. If bus appears inactive, isolate segments: disconnect ABS ECU and check if bus activity changes or other modules recover; reconnect to see if ABS ECU loads the bus.
  8. Inspect and test related fuses/relays and check for chassis ground continuity near ABS unit.
  9. If wiring and power/ground are good but no messages, consider reflashing/config check or replacement of ABS ECU per manufacturer procedures. Follow pairing/security steps if ECU replaced.
  10. After repairs, clear codes and perform road test to confirm ABS/ESP communication restored and no recurrence.

Likely causes

  • Damaged connector or wiring between ABS ECU and CAN bus (most common)
  • Blown fuse or lost power/ground to ABS ECU
  • Failed ABS/ESP ECU (internal hardware failure)
  • Open or incorrect CAN termination resistor
  • Intermittent short or high-resistance connection causing bus inactivity
