DTC

B1543

Extension Module Disconnected 2

DESCRIPTION

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

HINT:

The Navigation 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 Navigation system will not operate normally.
