Code No. U0184:
Audio CAN time-out
caution |
If diagnosis code No.U0184 is set in the heater controller
assembly (A/C-ECU), diagnose the CAN main bus line.
|
caution |
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication
circuit is normal.
|
|
The heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) receives air conditioner control-related signals
from the audio system via the CAN bus lines. If the ECU cannot receive any of the air conditioner
control-related signals from the audio system, diagnosis code U0184 will be stored.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
|
|
Current trouble
- Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus lines between the audio system and
the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU), the power supply system to the audio system, the audio
system itself, or the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) may be defective.
|
|
Past trouble
- Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on connector(s) or wiring harness in
the CAN bus lines between the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) and the audio system, and
the power supply system to the audio system. For diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to treat past
trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00 -
How to Treat Past Trouble
).
note |
For a past trouble, you can not find it by the M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics even if
there is any failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow down
the possible cause of the trouble by referring to the diagnosis code, which is set regarding
the CAN communication-linked ECUs (Refer to GROUP 54C -
CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow ).
|
caution |
If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position without starting
the engine, the diagnosis code U0184 (past trouble) may be set to the heater controller assembly
(A/C-ECU) after three minutes.
|
|
|
- Damaged wiring harness or connectors
- Malfunction of the audio
- Malfunction of the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU)
|
|
STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
|
|
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting ).
On completion, go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
|
|
Check whether the audio-related diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Diagnose the audio. Refer to .
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 3
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
|
|
Check if a diagnosis code, which relates to CAN communication-linked systems below, is
set.
|
|
- Audio
U0184: Audio-related time-out diagnosis code
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Go to Step 4
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 5
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Replace the audio, and then go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus
line between the audio and the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 00 -
How
to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Replace the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU), and then go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction in the CAN bus
line between the audio and the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) (Refer to GROUP 00 -
How
to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
Recheck if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) to ON
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Return to Step 1.
|
|
|
|
The procedure is complete.
