Title: CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM: B15C0,B15C1; Short in GPS Antenna; 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]

DTC

B15C0

Short in GPS Antenna

DTC

B15C1

Open in GPS Antenna

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is set when the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an open or a short in the telephone and GPS antenna circuit. The DCM (Telematics Transceiver) receives 1574.42 - 1576.42 MHz radio frequency signals from satellites through the telephone and GPS antenna assembly. The cable is a 50 Ω coaxial cable.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B15C0

Current for telephone and GPS antenna assembly is lower (Ω) malfunction criterion for 10 seconds when ignition switch is ON.

(Short circuit)

  • DCM (Telematics Transceiver)
  • Wire harness or connector (Telephone and GPS antenna cord)
  • Telephone and GPS antenna assembly

B15C1

Current for telephone and GPS antenna assembly is higher (Ω) malfunction criterion for 10 seconds when ignition switch is ON.

(Open circuit)

HINT:

Refer to "PARTS LOCATION" for the installation location of telephone and GPS antenna cord (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM: PARTS LOCATION ).

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 10 seconds.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Perform "HEALTH CHECK" and check for current DTCs (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM: HEALTH CHECK ).

3.

INSPECT TELEPHONE AND GPS ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the telephone and GPS antenna assembly with a normal one and check if the same problem occurs again (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: TELEPHONE ANTENNA: REMOVAL ).

OK:

The system returns to normal.

OK

4.

REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)

(a) Replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: MAYDAY ECU: REMOVAL ).

NOTICE:

  • The ignition switch must be off.
  • Do not swap the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) with one from another vehicle.
