DTC U0154: Occupant Classification-ECU CAN timeout
 
 
caution
  • If DTC U0154 is stored, be sure to diagnose the CAN main bus line.
  • When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.
 
 
DTC SET CONDITION
When the signals from occupant classification-ECU cannot be received, the SRS-ECU stores DTC U0154.
 
 
JUDGMENT CRITERIA
Because of the CAN-C bus circuit malfunction, if SRS-ECU becomes unable to perform the normal data transmission, SRS-ECU determines that an abnormality is present.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The CAN bus line may be defective
  • The occupant classification-ECU may be defective
  • The SRS-ECU may be defective
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), diagnose the CAN bus line
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to "How to connect the scan tool ."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to GROUP 54C, Diagnosis ).
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the occupant classification-ECU diagnostic trouble code.
Check if the DTC is stored in the occupant classification-ECU.
Is the DTC stored?
Carry out troubleshooting of the occupant classification-ECU or the occupant classification sensor system (Refer to ). Then go to Step 4.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read diagnostic trouble code No. U0154 for other system.
Check if DTC U0154 is stored in ETACS-ECU, combination meter, A/C-ECU.
Is the DTC stored?
Replace the passenger seat cushion frame assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat Assembly ).
Go to Step 4.
 
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is stored in the SRS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3) Check if DTC is stored.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the DTC stored?
Replace the SRS-ECU.
There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00, How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points ).
