DESCRIPTION
If the radio receiver assembly cannot detect the DCM (telematics transceiver) for a certain period of time (90 seconds) after the engine switch is turned on (ACC) and the radio receiver assembly confirms that the information is missing by checking past DCM (telematics transceiver) recognition information (registered information), this DTC will be stored.
The telematics system uses USB communication between devices. If an open, short, short to +B or short to ground occurs in the USB circuit, communication is interrupted and the telematics system will not operate normally.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|---|
B15DB | Telematics Transceiver Disconnected | DCM (telematics transceiver) disconnected |
|
HINT:
This DTC may be stored due to environmental reasons such as electrical noise or interference.

PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for 90 seconds.
(d) Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble CodesOK:
No DTCs are output.
OK | ![]() | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |

2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) POWER SOURCE) |
(a) Disconnect the J157 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J157-20 (E) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J157-1 (+B) - J157-20 (E) | Always | 11 to 14 V |
J157-19 (IG2) - J157-20 (E) | Engine switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
