C1646 CAN signal error TCU

AutoHex Online Help: Hyundai GENESIS(BH) 2012
Component Location
General Description

VSM(Vehicle Stability Management) system is a safty system to reduce damage by using ESP, PSB(Pre-safe Seat Belt), SCC, Cluster under condition of a collision predicted. VSM control mecanism is as follows.

1. Preceding vehicle approaching : Cluster turns on yellow warning lamp.

2. Preceding vehicle approaching too close : ESP prepares breaking and PSB vibrates belt, Cluster turns on red warning lamp to inform danger to driver.

3. Under condition of a collision predicted : PSB retracts seat belt fully, ESP slows down the car and assist driver to make a proper break force according to situation.



DTC Description

SCC sets this code when the messages(TCU2) from TCM was not received within the last 500msec or improper message, checksum detected. System recovers to normal state if the message is received again.

Diagnostic Circuit Diagram
Signal Waveform & Data

Monitoring CAN HIGH and LOW simultaneously is important in monitoring CAN communication waveform. When CAN HIGH signal rise to 3.5V and LOW signal drops to 1.5V - voltage difference between HIGH and LOW signal is 2V - at BUS IDLE state(DIGITAL "1") whose reference voltage is 2.5V, "0" is recognized. Besides, comparing HIGH and LOW signal if opposite waveform is detected with the reference voltage of 2.5V, Check if current cam signal transfers correctly. Continuous "0"signal above 6BIT means the occurence of error in CAN communication. 1BIT is easily distinguished as calculating the time when "SOF"(START OF FRAME) which notifies the start of frame occurs. Check if "0"signal above 6BIT is detected continuously when monitoring CAN communication waveform.
