Causes

  • TV module not fitted (vehicle not equipped)
  • Blown fuse for TV module power
  • Poor or missing power supply to the TV module
  • Poor or missing ground at the TV module
  • Open or short in data bus wiring (CAN/LIN) to the TV module
  • Faulty connector or corrosion at module plug

Symptoms

  • No TV function or display (if fitted)
  • Related infotainment features may be inoperative
  • Associated modules throw additional communication-related DTCs
  • No response from TV module when queried with a scan tool
  • Intermittent operation or loss of TV on vehicle movement

What to check

  • Verify vehicle equipment level — confirm whether TV module is installed (service label, factory build sheet, parts list)
  • Connect a diagnostic scan tool and attempt to communicate with the TV module; note any related U-codes on the network
  • Inspect fuses and power distribution for TV module circuit
  • Visually inspect module connector for corrosion, bent pins, water ingress, or poor mating
  • Check for other modules reporting lost communication on the same data bus
  • Back-probe module connector (if fitted) for ignition-switched battery voltage and ground presence

Signal parameters

  • Module supply voltage (key ON): ~11–14 V at module battery/power pin
  • Ground: near 0 V at module ground pin with key ON
  • CAN bus idle voltages: CANH ≈ 2.5 V, CANL ≈ 2.5 V (measured to chassis)
  • CAN bus dominant state: CANH ≈ 3.5 V, CANL ≈ 1.5 V (when traffic is present)
  • CAN bus differential voltage when active: ~2.0 V
  • Termination resistance across CANH–CANL (with ignition OFF): ~60 ohms (two 120 Ω terminators in parallel)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Confirm code presence and note freeze frame/related codes with a scan tool
  2. Verify vehicle equipment: check factory build sheet, vehicle option codes or physical inspection to confirm if TV module should be present — if not fitted, code may be expected and no repair required
  3. Visually inspect TV module connector and harness for damage, corrosion or disconnection; repair as needed
  4. Check and verify fuses and relays feeding the TV module circuit; replace faulty fuses and retest
  5. With key ON, back-probe power and ground pins at the module connector: verify battery voltage and good ground
  6. Using a multimeter/oscilloscope, measure CANH and CANL at the TV module connector with key ON and while exercising related systems; compare to expected idle and dominant voltages
  7. Measure resistance across CANH–CANL with ignition OFF; expect ~60 Ω. If open or very low, diagnose wiring/terminators
  8. If bus voltages are abnormal, trace wiring toward gateway/BCM looking for opens, shorts to battery/ground, or corrosion; repair wiring and connectors
  9. If wiring and power/ground are good but no communication, attempt to communicate with module from gateway/scan tool; verify coding/configuration — reprogram or reinitialize modules if required
  10. If module still non-responsive after wiring/power/coding checks, replace TV module and re-test communication
  11. Clear codes and road test; monitor for reappearance of B2200 or related network codes

Likely causes

  • Vehicle not fitted with TV module (expected condition)
  • Blown fuse or removed power feed to TV module
  • Disconnected or corroded connector at the TV module
  • Open/short in CAN or LIN wiring between TV module and gateway
  • Failed TV module or gateway not addressing the module

Fault status

⚠️ Status
No communication detected with the TV module. Condition may be expected if vehicle is not fitted with TV, otherwise indicates a communication bus, power/ground, connector, or module fault.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.5 hours
