Occupant Classification-ECU

DTC U0151: SRS-ECU CAN Timeout

CAUTION:
- If DTC U0151 is set in the occupant classification-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus lines.
- When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
If the signal from SRS-ECU cannot be received, the occupant classification system sets DTC U0151.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
Because of the CAN-B bus circuit malfunction, if occupant classification-ECU becomes unable to perform the normal data transmission, occupant classification-ECU determines that an abnormality is present.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The CAN bus line may be defective
- The SRS-ECU may be defective
- The occupant classification-ECU may be defective
