General Description

The HECU is composed of a ECU (Electronic Control Unit ) and a HCU( Hydraulic Control Unit) , so the HECU hardware includes all solenoid valves inside the unit as well as the ECU.



DTC Description

The HECU monitors the operation of the IC components such as memory, register, A/D converter and so on.

The HECU sets this code when the EEPROM data read by the master processor is different than prior data writed, or when the master/slave processor detects abnormal operation in RAM, Status Register, Interrupt, Timer, A/D converter or cycle time.
