Causes
- Open, short or intermittent fault in CAN_H / CAN_L wiring between multimedia/AVM/PGS module and gateway/body ECU
- Loose, corroded or disconnected connector at the multimedia/AVM/PGS or gateway module
- Failed multimedia/AVM/PGS module (no transmission)
- Gateway or BCM software/firmware fault or configuration mismatch
- Power or ground fault to the sending module (AVM/PGS/FRMS)
- CAN bus termination fault or improper network impedance
Symptoms
- AVM / Around View Monitor or Parking Guidance features disabled or not available
- Multimedia display shows "AVM/PGS error" or similar message
- Camera or parking guidance icons not displayed or intermittent
- Related warning or message on instrument cluster or infotainment
- No apparent effect on engine drivability (communication/network fault only)
What to check
- Read all stored DTCs and freeze-frame data from all modules (infotainment, BCM/gateway, cameras)
- Verify vehicle battery charge and key-on voltages are within spec
- Visually inspect CAN connectors and harnesses for damage, corrosion, or loose pins
- Check fuses and power/ground circuits for the multimedia/AVM/PGS modules
- Measure CAN bus idle voltages (CAN_H and CAN_L) and check for proper differential and termination resistance (~60 ohms across H/L when key off, consult factory spec)
- Use a scan tool or CAN bus analyzer to verify presence and frequency of expected AVM/PGS messages
Signal parameters
- CAN_H idle voltage typically ~2.5–3.5 V (model dependent) — confirm with factory spec
- CAN_L idle voltage typically ~1.5–2.5 V (model dependent)
- Differential idle voltage (CAN_H − CAN_L) ~0 V when recessive, ~2 V when dominant (use oscilloscope/logic analyzer)
- Bus termination resistance ≈ 60 Ω between CAN_H and CAN_L (two 120 Ω terminators in parallel) — verify with multimeter when powered off
- Expected periodic message ID(s) and frequency for AVM/PGS/FRMS (verify with OEM data using a capable scan tool or bus sniffer)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all related DTCs from gateway, infotainment, camera modules and record freeze-frame data.
- Confirm vehicle electrical health: battery voltage, fuses and module power/ground circuits feeding AVM/PGS/FRMS and gateway.
- Visually inspect wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion or loose pins at multimedia module, cameras, trunk/hatch areas and gateway; repair as needed.
- With a lab-quality scan tool, verify whether the AVM/PGS/FRMS module appears on the CAN network and whether it transmits periodic messages. Note missing message IDs and frequencies.
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L voltages and check termination resistance. If voltages or termination are out of range, isolate and repair the wiring or replace terminators.
- Use an oscilloscope or CAN analyzer to look for bus errors, dominant/recessive patterns, or bus flooding by other nodes. If another node is corrupting the bus, isolate by disconnecting suspected modules one at a time.
- If wiring and bus integrity are good but the module does not transmit, perform bench or module-level diagnostics: check for proper supply and ground at the module, then update/reflash or replace the module per OEM procedure.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a full functional test and road/test to ensure the message is present and no timeouts return.
Likely causes
- Pin corrosion or bent pins at the multimedia module connector
- Broken or chafed CAN wiring in harness (common at door sills, trunk, or rear bumper)
- Multimedia/AVM module lost power due to blown fuse or bad ignition feed
- Gateway/BCM not receiving or not forwarding messages due to software/firmware issue
- Intermittent ground at module causing transmitter to stop periodically
Fault status
Status
Multimedia CAN message timeout (AVM/PGS/FRMS): expected periodic CAN message(s) not received within timeout window. Stored when communication from the AVM/PGS/FRMS sender is absent or interrupted.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours
