STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" 

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the occupant classification-ECU.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such 

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus 
lines between the occupant classification-ECU and 
the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope 
with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

).

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" 

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such 

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus 
lines between the occupant classification-ECU and 
the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope

DTC U0155: Combination meter CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0155 is set to the ETACS-ECU, always 

diagnose the CAN bus line.

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the 

communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

If the signal from combination meter cannot be 
received, the ETACS-ECU sets DTC U0155.

.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA

After the following statuses continue to be true for 5 
seconds, if the communication with the combination 
meter cannot be established for 0.6 second or more, 
the ETACS-ECU determines that a problem has 
occurred.

• No abnormality is present to the network.

• Ignition switch is in the ON position.

• No abnormality is present to the power supply 

fuse, or the odometer value is at 80.5 km (50.0 
miles) or more.

• ETACS-ECU system voltage is at 10−16 volts.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The combination meter may be defective.

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective.

• The CAN bus may be defective.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with 

CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line. 

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) 

P.54A-579

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-14

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the combination 
meter diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC is set to the combination meter.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the combination meter (Refer to 

P.54A-28

).

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/C-ECU 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if the DTC U0155 is set to the A/C-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 5.
