Satellite Radio Tuner

DTC U0151: SRS-ECU CAN Timeout

CAUTION:
- If DTC U0151 is set, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
- When replacing the satellite radio tuner, always check that the communication circuit is normal.


DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
If the signal from SRS-ECU cannot be received, the satellite radio tuner sets DTC U0151.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA
With the ignition switch in the ON position, system voltage between 10 - 16 volts (data from ETACS-ECU), power supply fuse (IOD fuse) is OK, or odometer value is 80.5 km (50 miles) or more, and the communication with SRS-ECU cannot be established for 2,500 ms or more, the satellite radio tuner determines that a problem has occurred.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The CAN bus line may be defective
- The satellite radio tuner may be defective
- The SRS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the SRS-ECU.

NO : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus lines between the SRS-ECU and the satellite radio tuner.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Check again if the DTC is set to the satellite radio tuner
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
