DTC

B15DB

Telematics Transceiver Disconnected

DESCRIPTION

If the radio and display receiver assembly cannot detect the DCM (telematics transceiver) for a certain period of time (90 seconds) after the ignition switch is turned to ACC and the radio and display receiver assembly confirms that the information is missing by checking past DCM (telematics transceiver) recognition information (registered information), this DTC will be stored.

The telematics system uses USB communication between devices. If an open, short, short to +B or short to ground occurs in the USB circuit, communication is interrupted and the telematics system will not operate normally.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B15DB	Telematics Transceiver Disconnected	DCM (telematics transceiver) disconnected	Harness or connector DCM (telematics transceiver) Radio and display receiver assembly

HINT:

This DTC may be stored due to environmental reasons such as electrical noise or interference.

When replacing the radio and display receiver assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a radio and display receiver assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the following may occur:
- A communication malfunction DTC may be stored.
- The radio and display receiver assembly may not operate normally.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Before replacing the DCM (telematics transceiver), refer to Registration.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) POWER SOURCE)

(a) Disconnect the K12 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K12-4 (E) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K12-1 (+B) - K12-4 (E)	Always	11 to 14 V
K12-8 (ACC) - K12-4 (E)	Ignition switch ACC	11 to 14 V
K12-7 (IG2) - K12-4 (E)	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

2.	INSPECT RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the K1 radio and display receiver assembly connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K1-11 (USBG) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

*a	Component without harness connected (Radio and Display Receiver Assembly)

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K1-10 (USBV) - K1-11 (USBG)	Ignition switch ON	4.75 to 5.25 V

REPLACE RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER))

(a) Disconnect the K1 radio and display receiver assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the K15 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K1-10 (USBV) - K15-5 (USBV)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K1-11 (USBG) - K15-3 (USBG)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K1-10 (USBV) or K15-5 (USBV) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
K1-11 (USBG) or K15-3 (USBG) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO AND DISPLAY RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER))

(a) Check the installation condition.

(1) Check the USB communication lines between the radio and display receiver assembly and DCM (telematics transceiver) for any installation or connection problems.

(b) Disconnect the K136 and K1 radio and display receiver assembly connectors.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K136-1 (USB+) - K15-2 (USB+)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K136-2 (USB-) - K15-1 (USB-)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K136-3 (USBS) - K15-6 (USBS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K136-1 (USB+) or K15-2 (USB+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
K136-2 (USB-) or K15-1 (USB-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
K136-3 (USBS) or K15-6 (USBS) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
