DTC B2621: Communication Interruption: Procedure

  1. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM) 
    1. Check if multiplex communication system DTC B1200, B1210, B1272 or B1278 is output.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      No output A
      B1200 is output B
      B1210 is output C
      B1272 is output D
      B1278 is output E

      HINT: 

      • If any other codes besides B2621 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
      • DTC B1200 indicates a main body ECU communication stop malfunction in the multiplex communication system.
      • DTC B1210 indicates a power source control ECU communication stop malfunction in the multiplex communication system.
      • DTC B1272 indicates a power seat ECU communication stop malfunction in the multiplex communication system.
      • DTC B1278 indicates a combination switch ECU communication stop malfunction in the multiplex communication system.

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MAIN BODY ECU RH (COWL SIDE J/B RH) COMMUNICATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Check the signal communication state of the main body ECU RH (cowl side junction block RH). Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tilt&Telescopic / Data List.
      TILT&TELESCOPIC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Receive from Body Communication state of body ECU signal/
      OK or Interpt
      OK: Communication normal
      Interpt: Communication interrupted
      -

      OK

      "OK" is displayed.

    NG → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU RH (COWL SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK RH) 

    OK → See step   8 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (DRIVER SEAT ECU COMMUNICATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the signal communication state of the front power seat switch LH (position control ECU) on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tilt&Telescopic / Data List.
      TILT&TELESCOPIC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Receive from Seat ECU Communication state of seat ECU signal/
      OK or Interpt
      OK: Communication normal
      Interpt: Communication interrupted
      -

      OK

      "OK" is displayed.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK → See step   8 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COMBINATION SWITCH ECU COMMUNICATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the signal communication state of the combination switch ECU on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tilt&Telescopic / Data List.
      TILT&TELESCOPIC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Receive from Combi Communication state of combination switch ECU signal/
      OK or Interpt
      OK: Communication normal
      Interpt: Communication interrupted
      -

      OK

      "OK" is displayed.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK → See step   8 

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU COMMUNICATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Check the signal communication state of the power source control ECU on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tilt&Telescopic / Data List.
      TILT&TELESCOPIC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Power ECU Info Communication state of power source control ECU signal/
      OK or Interpt
      OK: Communication normal
      Interpt: Communication interrupted
      -

      OK

      "OK" is displayed.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK → See step   8
