DTC U0164: A/C CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0164 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from A/C-ECU cannot be received, the 
satellite radio tuner sets DTC U0164.

.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

With the ignition switch in the ON position, system 
voltage between 10

−16 volts (data from 

ETACS-ECU), power supply fuse (IOD fuse) is OK, 
or odometer value is 80.5 km (50 miles) or more, and 
the communication with A/C-ECU cannot be estab-
lished for 2,500 ms or more, the satellite radio tuner 
determines that a problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The CAN bus line may be defective.

• The A/C-ECU may be defective.

• The satellite radio tuner may be defective.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: Vehicles 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-655

."

(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-17

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/C-ECU 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC is set to the A/C-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the A/C. (Refer to GROUP 55A, Manual 

A/C Diagnosis 

P.55A-11

 GROUP 55B, Auto A/C 

Diagnosis 

P.55B-8

.)

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ETACS 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if the DTC U0164 is set to the ETACS-ECU.
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 to the satellite radio tuner.
(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 A/C-ECU.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such 

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus 
lines between the A/C-ECU and the satellite radio 
tuner (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 satellite radio tuner.
(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 satellite radio tuner.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction such 

as a poor connection or open circuit in the CAN bus 
lines between the A/C-ECU and the satellite radio 
tuner (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunction

DTC U0168: WCM/KOS CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0168 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from KOS-ECU <vehicles with KOS> or 
WCM <vehicles with WCM> cannot be received, the 
satellite radio tuner sets DTC U0168.

.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

With the ignition switch in the ON position, system 
voltage between 10 

− 16 V (data from ETACS-ECU), 

power supply fuse (IOD fuse) is OK, or odometer 
value is 80.5 km (50 miles) or more, and the commu-
nication with KOS-ECU <vehicles with KOS> or 
WCM <vehicles with WCM> cannot be established 
for 2,500 ms or more, the satellite radio tuner deter-
mines that a problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of CAN bus line may be defective.

• Malfunction of the KOS-ECU may be defective. 

<vehicles with KOS>

• Malfunction of the WCM may be defective. <vehi-

cles with WCM>

• Malfunction of satellite radio tuner may be defec-

tive.
