caution
  • If DTC U0164 is set, be sure to diagnose the CAN main bus line.
  • When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
  • Ignition switch: ON
Judgment Criterion
  • If signal from the A/C controller assembly transmitted via CAN bus line cannot be received for 2500 ms or more.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The CAN bus line may be defective
  • The A/C controller assembly may be defective
  • The power supply circuit of the A/C controller assembly may be defective
  • The TCU may be defective
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), diagnose CAN bus line.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE). Refer to "How to connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-IIISE) ."
(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 - Troubleshooting - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check whether the other system DTC is set.
Check whether an A/C controller assembly "time-out" related DTC U0164 is set in other ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN-Related DTC Table ).
Is DTC set?
Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 4.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check whether the DTC is set again.
Check again if the DTC is set in the TCU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from OFF position to ON position.
(3) Check the DTC.
Is the DTC set?
Replace the A/C controller assembly.
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the A/C controller assembly and the TCU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
 
STEP 4. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check whether the DTC is set again.
Check again if the DTC is set in the TCU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from OFF position to ON position.
(3) Check the DTC.
Is the DTC set?
Replace the TCU (Refer to ).
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between the A/C controller assembly and the TCU (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
