Pinpoint Test Ac: U0164:00
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The DDM/ PDM communicates with the HVAC module over the CAN. If the DDM/ PDM does not receive messages from the HVAC module, features such as the mirror defrost can be inoperative.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition DDM U0164:00 Lost Communication With HVAC Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets when the DDM / PDM detects data messages are missing from the FCIM. Possible Sources
- Network communication concern
- DDM
- PDM
- HVAC module
- AC1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify there is an observable symptom present.
Is an observable symptom present?
Yes GO to AC2 No The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - AC2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.
Does the HVAC module pass the network test?
Yes GO to AC3 No REFER to: Communications Network . - AC3 CHECK FOR HVAC (HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the FCIM self-test.
Are any voltage related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes REFER to the Information and Entertainment System . No GO to AC4 - AC4 RECHECK THE DDM (DRIVER DOOR MODULE) OR PDM (PASSENGER DOOR MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the DDM/ PDM self-test.
Is DTC U0164:00 still present?
Yes GO to AC5 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. - AC5 CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0164 SET IN OTHER MODULES
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve the Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) from all modules.
Is DTC U0164 set in other modules?
Yes INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to the HVAC module Removal and Installation procedure in the appropriate Service Information. No INSTALL a new DDM or PDM. REFER to: Front Door Module (FDM) .
