Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition
The control modules transmit and receive information via a standardized serial communication method - CAN (Control Area Network).
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:
- Communication on the CAN network is interrupted by another control module on the CAN network or by the control module's own message causing interference on the CAN network.
The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:
- Starting the control module's CAN communication.





Substitute value
- Control module shuts itself off ("bus-off").

Hint: The control module is off until the power supply has been broken. When the power supply is connected the control module will make a new attempt to communicate.

Possible source
- Short-circuit between the control area network (CAN) wiring.
- Open-circuit in the control area network (CAN) wiring.

Fault symptom[s]
- Climate control does not work
