DTC P161A LIN Communication Error with Alternator


DESCRIPTION

The ECM and generator assembly each detect reception malfunctions. A generator assembly reception malfunction detected by the generator assembly is sent to the ECM via LIN communication. If there is a malfunction in either the ECM or generator assembly, the ECM determines that there is a LIN communication malfunction and outputs a DTC.

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P161A
Diagnosis condition:
Ignition switch ON
When the ECM cannot receive LIN communication, the generator assembly cannot receive LIN communication for approximately 17 minutes or more
Other: 1 trip
  1. Harness or connector
  2. Generator assembly
  3. ECM

  P161A  Lin Communication Error With Alternator


INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM
  1. Check the charging system (LandCruiser RM000001AR90C3X.html).



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM
OK


2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - GENERATOR ASSEMBLY)
  1. Disconnect the C154 ECM connector.

  1. Disconnect the C157 generator assembly connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance (Check for Open):

    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    C154-16 (LIN) - C157-2 (LIN)
    Always
    Below 1 Ω

    Standard Resistance (Check for Short):

    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    C154-16 (LIN) or C157-2 (LIN) - Body ground
    Ignition switch off (while LIN communication is stopped)
    10 kΩ or higher
  1. Reconnect the C157 generator assembly connector.

  1. Reconnect the C154 ECM connector.



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK


3.INSPECT GENERATOR ASSEMBLY
  1. Inspect the generator assembly (LandCruiser RM0000017AT00LX.html).



NG
REPLACE GENERATOR ASSEMBLY (LandCruiser RM0000017AV00MX.html)
OK

REPLACE ECM (LandCruiser RM000000VW203EX.html)
