DTC B15DB-87: Telematics Transceiver Missing Message [09/2022 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 350, and 2023 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the G128 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G128-20 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G128-1 (+B) - Body ground IG OFF 11 to 14 V G128-19 (IG2) - Body ground IG ON 11 to 14 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER))
- Disconnect the G146 radio receiver assembly connector.
- Disconnect the G128 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G146-18 (USBV) - G128-15 (USBV) Always Below 1 Ω G146-17 (USBG) - G128-31 (USBG) Always Below 1 Ω G146-18 (USBV) or G128-15 (USBV) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher G146-17 (USBG) or G128-31 (USBG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY (USBV, USBG)
- With the radio receiver assembly connectors connected, disconnect the G128 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G128-31 (USBG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G128-15 (USBV) - G128-31 (USBG) IG ON 3 V or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 4
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY -DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER))
- Disconnect the G151 radio receiver assembly connector.
*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Radio Receiver Assembly)*b Front view of wire harness connector
(to DCM (Telematics Transceiver)) - Disconnect the G130 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G151-1 (USB+) - G130-2 (USB+) Always Below 1 Ω G151-2 (USB-) - G130-1 (USB-) Always Below 1 Ω G151-3 (USBS) - G130-3 (USBS) Always Below 1 Ω G151-1 (USB+) or G130-2 (USB+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher G151-2 (USB-) or G130-1 (USB-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher G151-3 (USBS) or G130-3 (USBS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 5
- Disconnect the G151 radio receiver assembly connector.
- INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)
- Replace the DCM (telematics transceiver) with a new one.
Refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
Result
Proceed to NEXT
Result:
NEXT
See step 6
- Replace the DCM (telematics transceiver) with a new one.
- CHECK FOR DTC
- Clear the DTCs.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs
- Turn the ignition switch off.
