B1767
CAN/LIN/SWS converter internal
Causes
- Internal failure of the CAN/LIN–SWS converter module
- Loss of power or poor ground to the converter
- Open/short or high resistance in CAN or LIN bus wiring
- Corroded/loose connector at the converter or steering column
- Water intrusion or physical damage to module or wiring
- Software/firmware mismatch or module configuration error
Symptoms
- Steering wheel switches (audio, cruise, phone) inoperative or intermittent
- Related functions not responding or responding intermittently
- Communication-related DTCs present (bus errors or lost comm)
- Warning indicators related to affected systems (audio, cruise) may illuminate
- Possible erratic behavior of devices on same bus
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs on all modules (scan tool) and note freeze-frame data
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring at the steering column and converter for corrosion, damage or water entry
- Check fuses and power supply to the converter module
- Verify good ground at converter/steering column
- Check for other communication codes (U-codes) that indicate broader bus issues
- Measure CAN and LIN signals with a multimeter/oscilloscope while operating switches or commanding messages
Signal parameters
- Module supply voltage: approx. battery voltage (~11–14.5 V with engine running)
- Ground: low resistance to chassis, continuity near 0 Ω
- CAN bus idle: differential ~0 V but CANH ≈ CANL ≈ 2.5 V (dominant recessive state)
- CAN dominant state: CANH ≈ 3.5 V, CANL ≈ 1.5 V (oscilloscope traces expected)
- LIN bus idle (sleep/idle): pulls up to battery voltage via LIN master (approx. ~12 V); dominant low ≈ 0 V when driven
- No excessive noise or floating voltages on CAN/LIN lines; bus termination present (120 Ω across CANH/CANL)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable diagnostic scan tool. Read and record DTCs from all modules. Note whether B1767 is current or intermittent.
- Clear code(s). Operate steering wheel switches and monitor for return of B1767 or any U-codes. If code does not return, perform road/operation test to reproduce.
- Perform visual inspection of steering column harness, SRS covers (where applicable), connectors and converter for damage or contamination.
- Verify battery voltage at the converter power pin with ignition ON. Check ground continuity to chassis.
- Check fuses related to steering wheel/infotainment/communication circuits. Replace if blown and retest.
- With an oscilloscope or high-speed CAN/LIN tester, observe CANH/CANL and LIN signals while exercising switches to confirm expected idle and active waveforms and message traffic.
- If CAN or LIN signals are abnormal, isolate by disconnecting segments (where safe) or unplugging suspect modules one at a time to find short or bus-off source.
- Wiggle test harness and connectors while monitoring for intermittent faults. Repair/replace damaged wiring or connectors.
- If wiring and bus integrity are good but the fault persists, check for available software updates. Reflash or reprogram the module per manufacturer procedure if applicable.
- If module still fails and all external checks are good, replace the CAN/LIN–SWS converter module and repeat verification and code clear. Relearn procedures may be required for some systems.
Likely causes
- Failed converter module (internal electronics)
- Blown fuse or intermittent power supply to the converter
- Damaged LIN single-wire harness in steering column
- CAN bus short to voltage/ground or missing termination
- Connector corrosion at steering wheel/column harness
- Other control module driving the bus into bus-off state
