Possible Causes
Loose communication harness between engine ECU and controller, Damaged CAN bus wiring, Faulty controller module, Incorrect termination on communication line
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disable AUTO and disconnect battery negative before unplugging control modules.
- Inspect harness: Trace the communication harness between the engine ECU (if equipped) and the Winco controller. Look for abrasion, pinched sections, or rodent damage.
- Check connectors: Unplug and re-seat communication connectors, ensuring they latch fully. Inspect pins for corrosion or bending.
- Verify termination: On CAN-based systems, ensure termination resistors are present as specified in the wiring diagram.
If E20 persists, controller or ECU replacement and programming may be required by an authorized service provider.
