Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information CEM-1A55

Condition




Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored if the central electronic module (CEM) registers that communication with the climate control module (CCM) is not operating.

Note! In the event of CEM-1A5X diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the central electronic module (CEM) must not be replaced as the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a communication fault in the Control area network!

Substitute value
None.

Possible source
- No power supply to climate control module (CCM)
- Open-circuit in the ground lead to the climate control module (CCM)
- Contact resistance in the terminals
- Open-circuit in the wiring for the CAN low speed network to the climate control module (CCM)
- The climate control module (CCM) is not intended for this car (for example a used control module with different software/hardware).

Note! In the event of missing CAN communication, but with the power supply still on, the climate control module (CCM) will function for a few minutes after the key has been removed (Limp-home function).

Hint: If several diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the central electronic module (CEM) for communication faults with other control modules in the low speed network, this indicates a common fault in the Control area network, see the wiring diagram.

Fault symptom[s]
- The climate control system does not function
- The lower row of buttons on the climate control system does not function
- The climate control system functions after the key has been removed.
