DESCRIPTION
Audio and visual system components communicate with each other via MOST communication.
If a line short or short to ground occurs in a MOST communication line, communication will not be possible and the audio and visual system will not operate normally.
After the engine switch is turned on (ACC), if the MOST communication network cannot be established and MOST communication is determined to not be possible, this DTC will be stored.
HINT:
Electrical noise may cause communication malfunctions between devices in the MOST network.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|---|
B15D0 | MOST Communication Malfunction | MOST network cannot be established. |

PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK DTC |
(a) Check for DTCs.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC B15C3 and B15D3 are not output | A |
DTC B15C3 is output | B |
DTC B15D3 is output | C |
HINT:
In this case, if the audio system volume is increased, current in the speaker circuit will increase more than necessary.
To prevent the current from becoming excessively high, when it increases to a certain amount, operation of the stereo component amplifier assembly will be suspended.
If operation is suspended, MOST communication will become impossible, the audio and visual system will not operate normally and DTC B15D0 will be stored.
B | ![]() | GO TO DTC B15C3 |
C | ![]() | GO TO B15D3 |
|
2. | PERFORM MOST LINE CHECK |
(a) Enter the "MOST Line Check" screen. Refer to Check DTC (Check Using System Check Mode Screen) in DTC Check / Clear. Click here HINT: "MOST" is displayed on "System Check Mode" screen when the MOST network is malfunctioning.

B | ![]() | GO TO STEP 5 |
|
3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the J122 radio receiver assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the J123 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J122-2 (MI+) - J123-5 (MO+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-3 (MI-) - J123-6 (MO-) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-4 (SLDI) - J123-7 (SLDO) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-5 (MO+) - J123-2 (MI+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-6 (MO-) - J123-3 (MI-) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-7 (SLDO) - J123-4 (SLDI) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J122-2 (MI+) or J123-5 (MO+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J122-3 (MI-) or J123-6 (MO-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J122-4 (SLDI) or J123-7 (SLDO) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J122-5 (MO+) or J123-2 (MI+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J122-6 (MO-) or J123-3 (MI-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J122-7 (SLDO) or J123-4 (SLDI) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
NG | ![]() | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |

(b) Clear the DTCs.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs(c) Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble CodesOK:
No DTCs are output.
OK | ![]() | END |
NG | ![]() | REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY |
5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY WAKE UP LINE) |
(a) Disconnect the J123 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J123-8 (WUI) - Body ground | Engine switch on (ACC) | 4.5 V or higher |
OK | ![]() | REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
NG | ![]() | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
