Pinpoint Test AI: DTC U0155 Or DTC U0155:00

Normal Operation

Several audio system modules receive network messages from the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) via the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).

As more than one module receives these messages, all modules receiving a particular message should exhibit a symptom if the message is missing.

- DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster ( IC) Control Panel) - set by the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) when network messages are missing from the IPC for greater than 5 seconds with the ignition in RUN.
- DTC U0155:00 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster ( IPC) Control Module: No Sub Type Information) - set by the Audio Control Module (ACM), the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), the Global Positioning System Module (GPSM), or the audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module when network messages are missing from the IPC for greater than 5 seconds with the ignition in RUN.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Communication network concern
- Audio system concern
- IPC

PINPOINT TEST AI: DTC U0155 OR DTC U0155:00

-------------------------------------------------
AI1 CHECK FOR LOST COMMUNICATION DTCs

- Ignition ON.
- Clear continuous DTCs from all modules.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait at least 10 seconds.
- Retrieve all continuous DTCs from all modules.
- Is DTC U0155 or DTC U0155:00 set in any audio system module?

Yes
GO to AI2.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.

-------------------------------------------------
AI2 CHECK FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE OUT-OF-RANGE DTCs

- Carry out the self-test for the following modules:
- ACM
- APIM
- Audio DSP module
- FDIM
- GPSM
- IPC
- Is DTC B1317, B1318, U3003:16, or U3003:17 recorded in any module?

Yes
For an audio system module, REFER to DTC Charts. Information and Entertainment Systems - DTC Charts

For the IPC, REFER to Instrumentation, Message Center, and Warning Chimes Testing and Inspection.

No
GO to AI3.

-------------------------------------------------
AI3 CHECK FOR DTC U0155 OR U0155:00 SET IN MULTIPLE MODULES

- Review the recorded results from the self-test.
- Is DTC U0155 or DTC U0155:00 set in more than one audio system module?

Yes
GO to AI4.

No
If there is an observable symptom, GO to Symptom Chart - General Audio System. Symptom Chart - General Audio System

If there is no observable symptom, CHECK the MS-CAN wiring between the Body Control Module (BCM) and the module in question for a fault.

-------------------------------------------------
AI4 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION

- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the IPC connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the IPC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrumentation, Message Center, and Warning Chimes Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). CLEAR all continuous DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR all continuous DTCs.
