DTC B15D0: MOST Communication Malfunction [10/2014 - 09/2017]: Procedure

1. Check that optional components (including associated wiring) which generate radio waves are not installed.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   Optional components (including associated wiring) are installed.	A
   Optional components (including associated wiring) are not installed.	B

   HINT: 

   • Electrical noise from radio waves generated by optional components or the wiring for those components may affect AVC-LAN communication.
   • These DTCs may be stored when an AVC-LAN communication error occurs due to electrical noise.

1. Turn the power switch off.
2. Turn the power switch on (ACC) and check if the audio system activates and if the speakers operate.

   HINT: 

   • Choose a source such as radio so that sound can be output from the speakers.
   • If sound from the speakers is low, turn up the volume.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   Even after the power switch is turned on (ACC), the navigation system does not activate and sound is not output from the speakers.	A
   The audio system activates when the power switch is turned on (ACC) but the sound stops being output when the amplifier output exceeds a certain level.	B

   HINT: 

   • If a short occurs in a speaker circuit, the sound from the corresponding speaker will be low or almost impossible to hear. If the volume is turned up in this situation, to prevent excessive current flow due to the short circuit, the stereo component amplifier assembly stops operating when its output exceeds a certain level. When the operation of the stereo component amplifier assembly stops, the navigation system will not function normally. This is because MOST communication will stop due to the shut down of the amplifier causing an error in the MOST network. The stereo component amplifier assembly will start operating again when the power switch is turned off and back on (ACC) again. However, the amplifier will stop operating again if its output exceeds a certain level.
   • When the stereo component amplifier assembly stops operating and a malfunction occurs in the navigation system due to a short in a speaker circuit, this DTC will be stored. In this case, check each speaker circuit and repair or replace malfunctioning parts, and then recheck for DTCs.

   "NCON" is displayed for "AMP".	A
   "OK" is displayed for all items.	B

   • When "NCON" is displayed for more than 1 item, proceed to the step for the device that has the smallest node position number.
   • The "MOST Line Check" screen can be displayed only when DTC B15D0 is stored.

1. Check the MOST communication line connectors.
   1. Check if the MOST communication line connector between the radio receiver assembly and stereo component amplifier assembly has any connection problems.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2014 - 09/2017]

2. Display the "MOST Line Check" screen and check the result.

   Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [10/2014 - ]

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   "NCON" is displayed for "AMP".	A
   The screen cannot be changed to the "MOST Line Check" screen.	B

   HINT: 

   When the malfunction in the MOST network is repaired, the screen cannot be changed to the "MOST Line Check" screen.
