Pinpoint Test I: DTC U0155
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 13, Power Distribution/SJB for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 14, Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) and the Instrument Cluster (IC) communicate using the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). Messages are exchanged between the modules on the MS-CAN for the purposes of determining what functions are being carried out.
- DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster (IC) Control Module) - set by the SJB whenever it loses communication with the Instrument Cluster (IC) if the ignition is not in the START position, the SJB supply voltage is greater than 10.5 volts and the ignition must be in the on position for a minimum of 5 seconds.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Module communication
- SJB
- IC
PINPOINT TEST I: DTC U0155
-------------------------------------------------
I1 VERIFY CUSTOMER CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify that there is an observable symptom present.
- Is an observable symptom present?
Yes
GO to I2.
No
The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
-------------------------------------------------
I2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
- Carry out the network test.
- Does the IC pass the network test?
Yes
GO to I3.
No
REFER to Information Bus, The IC Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.
-------------------------------------------------
I3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SELF-TEST
- Check for recorded SJB DTCs from the self-test.
- Is DTC B1317 or DTC B1318 recorded?
Yes
For DTC B1317, GO to Pinpoint Test G. Pinpoint Test G: DTC B1317
For DTC B1318, GO to Pinpoint Test H. Pinpoint Test H: DTC B1318
No
GO to I4.
-------------------------------------------------
I4 RECHECK THE SJB DTCs
NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during Programmable Module Installation (PMI) or the PMI may not have been carried out.
- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the SJB self-test.
- Is DTC U0155 still present?
Yes
GO to I5.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
-------------------------------------------------
I5 CHECK FOR DTC U0155 SET IN OTHER MODULES
- Clear all DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self-Test.
- Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from all modules.
- Is DTC U0155 set in the Audio Control Module (ACM), Driver Seat Module (DSM), audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module or Parking Aid Module (PAM)?
Yes
INSTALL a new IC. REFER to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
No
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Smart Junction Box (SJB) Smart Junction Box (SJB).
