DTC U209E
- Object Detection Control Module High Speed Communication Enable Circuit 1

For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List Symptom Byte List.

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The active safety control module activates the object detection ignition circuit, when the ignition is ON. The object detection ignition circuit wakes up the devices for serial data bus communication.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

* The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The active safety control module senses a short to ground on the object detection ignition circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The device(s) is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystem(s) will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Use the schematic to determine which devices are on the K124 active safety control module's ignition circuit 9 X1. Use the connector end view to identify the object detection ignition circuit terminal for each of those devices.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at an easily accessible device that shares the K124 active safety control module's ignition circuit 9 X1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify that the DTC U209E remains current.

If the DTC becomes history
Replace the device that was just disconnected.

If the DTC remains current

3. With the prior devices disconnected, repeat steps 1 and 2 for each device on the ignition circuit except the K124 active safety control module.

4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K124 active safety control module.

5. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit terminal 9 X1 at the K124 active safety control module and ground.

If less than infinite resistance
Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

6. Replace the K124 active safety control module.
