CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:U0208

DTC Code DTC Name
U0208 Lost Communication with "Seat Control Module A"

DESCRIPTION

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
U0208 No communication from the position control ECU and switch assembly continues.

  • Position control ECU and switch assembly (for Driver side) branch line or connector

  • Power source circuit of position control ECU and switch assembly (for driver side)

  • Position control ECU and switch assembly (for Driver side) ground circuit

  • Position control ECU and switch assembly (for Driver side)

Tech Tips

This diagnosis procedure is for when DTC U0208 is output by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) (GTS display: Main Body).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.

  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

  • Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output Click here.

  • After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.

  • DTC check procedure: Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait at least 10 seconds.

  • After the repair, perform CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed Click here.

Tech Tips


  • Operating the ignition switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.

  • Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. RECONFIRM DTC OUTPUT


    1. Reconfirm DTCs.

      Tech Tips

      If DTC U1002 is output from Main Body of the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), this indicates a sub bus 1 malfunction. Troubleshoot for DTC U1002 and check for malfunctions in the sub bus 1.

      (to Position Control ECU and Switch Assembly (for Driver Side))

      Disconnect the e12 position control ECU and switch assembly (for driver side) connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      e12-8 (CANP) - e12-7 (CANN) Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal 54 to 69 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BRANCH LINE OR CONNECTOR (POSITION CONTROL ECU AND SWITCH ASSEMBLY (FOR DRIVER SIDE))

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

      (to Position Control ECU and Switch Assembly (for Driver Side))

      Disconnect the e11 position control ECU and switch assembly (for driver side) connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      e11-2 (GND) - Body ground Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal Below 1 Ω

    3. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      e11-7 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V
      e12-12 (SYSB) - Body ground Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

    OK
