DTC U0155: Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Lost Communication With Gauge Control Module

NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).

Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
Wait for at least 6 seconds.
Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0155 indicated?

YES -Go to step 5.

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections between the immobilizer-keyless control unit and the gauge control module.
From the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu, select B-CAN CONTROL UNITS INFORMATION, and then select CHECK CONNECTED CONTROL UNITS.
Is the gauge control module detected?

YES -Go to step 10.

NO -Go to step 6.
Measure the voltage between body gauge control module connector A (32P) terminals No. 15 and No. 16 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Go to step 9.

NO -Go to step 7.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 12 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Are the fuses OK?

YES -Repair an open or high resistance in the No. 15 (10 A) and/or No. 12 (7.5 A) fuse circuit.

NO -Replace the fuse(s). If the fuse blows again, repair a short to ground on the No. 15 (10 A) and/or No. 12 (7.5 A) fuse circuit.
Measure the voltage between body ground and gauge control module connector A (32P) terminals No. 1 and No. 17 individually.

Is there less than 0.2 V?

YES -Go to step 10.

NO -Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire(s) or poor ground (G401) and/or (G402).
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Disconnect the immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector.
Disconnect gauge control module connector A (32P).
Check for continuity between gauge control module connector A (32P) terminals No. 29 and No. 30 and immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4 respectively.

Is there continuity?

YES -Replace the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Repair an open or poor connection in the B-CAN wire(s) between the immobilizer-keyless control unit and the gauge control module.
