Lexus ES: Telematics Transceiver Disconnected (B15DB)
DESCRIPTION
If the radio receiver assembly cannot detect the DCM (telematics transceiver) for a certain period of time (90 seconds) after the power 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.

When replacing the radio receiver assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a radio receiver assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the following may occur:
- A communication malfunction DTC may be stored.
- The radio receiver assembly may not operate normally.
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
-
Before replacing the DCM (telematics transceiver), refer to Registration.

PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) POWER SOURCE) |
(a) Disconnect the G128 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
(b) 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 |
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G128-1 (+B) - G128-20 (E) | Power switch off | 11 to 14 V |
| G128-19 (IG2) - G128-20 (E) | Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
