Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information CEM-DE51

Condition




The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the central electronic module (CEM) registers that communication with the driver information module (DIM) is not operating.

Note! In the event of CEM-DEXX diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) being stored the central electronic module (CEM) must not be replaced; the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a communication fault in the Control area network!

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the ignition has been on for at least 10 seconds.

Substitute value
- None.

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

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]
- No gauges working
- The instrument lighting does not operate.
- Combined instrument panel does not function
