DTC U0195: Satellite radio tuner CAN timeout

CAUTION

If DTC U0195 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the 
CAN main bus line.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The A/C-ECU receives air conditioning opera-
tion-related signals from the satellite radio via the 
CAN bus lines. If any of the air conditioning con-
trol-related signals from the satellite radio cannot be 
received, the diagnostic trouble code U0195 is 
stored.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT) 

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 

lines between the Satellite Radio and the 
A/C-ECU, the power supply system to the Satel-
lite Radio, the Satellite Radio itself, or the 
A/C-ECU may be defective.

Past trouble

• If DTC U0195 is stored as a past trouble, carry 

out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring 
and connector(s) in the CAN bus line between 
the A/C-ECU and the Satellite Radio, and the 
power supply system to the Satellite Radio. If the 
connectors and wiring are normal, and obviously 
the ECU is the cause of the trouble, replace the 
ECU. If in doubt, do not replace the ECU.
NOTE: For a past trouble, you cannot find it by 
the scan tool CAN bus diagnostics even if there is 
a failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspec-
tion Service Points

) and check the CAN 

bus lines. You can narrow down the possible 
cause of the trouble by referring to the DTC, 
which is set regarding the CAN communica-
tion-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C, Expla-
nation about the scan too CAN bus diagnostics 

P.54C-9

).

.

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.55-7

."

(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 Satellite Radio 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether an satellite radio DTCs are set or not.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for Satellite Radio DTCs.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the Satellite Radio (Refer to GROUP 54A, 

Diagnostic Trouble Code).

NO :   Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check for any 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked 
systems below, is set.

• ETACS-ECU

DTC indicating a time-out error related to the Satellite Radio 
system

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

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

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the Satellite Radio. On completion, check 

that the DTC is not reset.

NO :  There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor 

engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions

DTC U0197: Hands Free Module Time-out

CAUTION

If DTC U0197 is set in the A/C-ECU, diagnose the 
CAN main bus line.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The A/C-ECU receives the air conditioning con-
trol-related signals from the hands-free module via 
the CAN bus lines. If any of the air conditioning con-
trol-related signals from the hands free module can-
not be received, the diagnostic trouble code U0197 is 
stored.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT) 

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 

lines between the hands free module and the 
A/C-ECU, the power supply system to the hands 
free module, the hands free module itself, or the 
A/C-ECU may be defective.

Past trouble

• If DTC U0151 is stored as a past trouble, carry 

out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring 
and connector(s) in the CAN bus line between 
the A/C-ECU and the hands free module, and the 
power supply system to the hands free module. If 
the connectors and wiring are normal, and obvi-
ously the ECU is the cause of the trouble, replace 
the ECU. If in doubt, do not replace the ECU.
