DTC B156B: Multi-media Interface ECU Disconnected; DTC B156E: No Response from Multi-media Interface ECU: Procedure

1. Check for optional components.
   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.
      • This DTC may be stored when an AVC-LAN communication error occurs due to electrical noise.

B → See step   3 

A: Go to next step 

1. Remove optional components (including associated wiring).
   NOTE:

   Do not remove optional components or associated wiring without the permission of the customer.

NEXT: Go to next step 

1. Clear the DTCs, refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
2. Recheck for DTCs and check if the same DTC is output again.

   OK

   No DTCs are output.

OK → END 

1. Disconnect the E31 multi-media interface ECU connector.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E31-7 (GND) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Voltage

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E31-12 (+B) - E31-7 (GND)	Always	11 to 14 V
   E31-11 (ACC) - E31-7 (GND)	Ignition switch ACC	11 to 14 V

NG → See step   8 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the E31 multi-media interface ECU connector.
2. Disconnect the E15 navigation receiver assembly connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E31-9 (TX1+) - E15-9 (TXM+)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E31-10 (TX1-) - E15-10 (TXM-)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E31-9 (TX1+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   E31-10 (TX1-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Replace the multi-media interface ECU, refer to REMOVAL .
2. Clear the DTCs, refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
3. Recheck for DTCs and check if the same DTC is output again.

   OK

   No DTCs are output.

NG → See step   7 

OK → END (MULTI-MEDIA INTERFACE ECU IS DEFECTIVE) 

1. Disconnect the E15 navigation receiver assembly connector.
2. Disconnect the E31 multi-media interface ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E31-11 (ACC) - E15-11 (ACC)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E31-12 (+B) - E15-12 (+B)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E31-7 (GND) - E15-7 (GND)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E31-11 (ACC) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   E31-12 (+B) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   E31-7 (GND) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
