caution
  • If DTC No. U0168 is set, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
  • When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.
 
 
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The combination meter sets DTC No. U0168 when it cannot receive signals from the KOS&OSS-ECU.
 
 
JUDGMENT CRITERIA
With the ignition switch is at "ON" position, DTC No. U1190 is not set and DTC No. U1195 is not set, if the communication with KOS&OSS-ECU cannot be established for 2,500 ms or more, the combination meter determines that a problem has occurred.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The CAN bus line may be defective.
  • The combination meter may be defective.
  • The KOS&OSS-ECU may be defective.
