Combination Meter
DTC U0245: Audio Visual Navigation Unit CAN TimeoutCAUTION:
- If DTC U0245 is set, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
- When replacing the ECU, always check that the communication circuit is normal.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
When the signals from audio visual navigation unit cannot be received, the combination meter sets DTC U0245.
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 communications with audio visual navigation unit 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 audio visual navigation unit may be defective.
