DTC

B1573

Short in Telephone Antenna Circuit

DTC

B15CB

Telematics Transceiver Antenna Disconnected

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is set when the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an open or a short in the telephone and GPS antenna assembly circuit. The DCM (Telematics Transceiver) oscillates and receives 824 - 894 MHz or 1850 - 1990 MHz radio-frequency through the telephone and GPS antenna assembly.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B1573

Telephone and GPS antenna assembly impedance is lower than malfunction criterion for 10 seconds when ignition switch is ON.

(Short circuit)

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

B15CB

Telephone and GPS antenna assembly impedance is higher than malfunction criterion for 10 seconds when ignition switch is ON.

(Open circuit)

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

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) 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 ).
