Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS)
DTC U0155: Meter CAN time-out
CAUTION:
- If DTC U0155 is set, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
- When replacing the CAN box unit, always check that the communication circuit is normal. (Check that the voltage is 10 V or more.)
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
When the signals from combination meter cannot be received, the CAN box unit sets DTC U0155.
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 combination meter cannot be established for 2,500 ms or more, the CAN box unit determines that a problem has occurred.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The CAN bus line may be defective.
- The CAN box unit may be defective.
- The combination meter may be defective.
