I shorted out my system being stupid.

1. no dash lights
2. Car starts but won't shift out of park
3. Windows stopped working

Got error codes U0155 & U1102 - both networkNo fuses blown.
I thought it was the ECU so sent it for repair.They said it's fine and are sending it back.
They suggested it's the body control .module BCM but I can't find a reference to it for my 2005.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Which wires were shorted?

Does your accord have a navigation system?

 

No navigation.

I'm told it's the MICU behind the interior fuse box that's the issue.

 

U0155 points towards a f-can communication issue between the PCM and gauge control module. U1102 is a f-can communication error.

I was asking what wires were shorted to figure out what was possibly shorted before throwing a part at it.

 

In the 2005 the ECU and PCM are the same unit located behind the center console. I pulled that and had it tested and was found to be good. I called them before I sent it and they said windows and dash lights pointed directly to MICU (body control Unit) but I sent it anyway to make sure.

Looking up indicators it's the MICU seem to match that assessment.

It all started jumping connections to make the driver's window roll up because I couldn't find a master window controller that worked. Ordered one from Amazon & one from Advanced Auto and neither worked.

 

The MICU can be the problem. There are some CAN tests you can try if you want to see if you can get some more information.

For your issue, I'd recommend getting the shop manual for your car. You can get a pdf for about $22 from automanualsource.com that can help you out with some of the testing.

 

Your right. Having that would be a good idea. I'll take a look. I did find some tests to run but I'm finding documents don't match my car.

One of the tests showed using an 18pin connector to the ECU. It didn't have an 18 pin connector. ?

Looking at the owners manual from 2005 does not match either fuse box but does match some images I found for 2003. BUT the VIN says 2005!?!

@PAhonda
Got the manual. I'm a total NOOB at auto electrical.
I've got a ton of questions:
Page 11-198 for the 2005 Honda Accord



Where do I find the 30P Guage Assembly Connector Terminal - Is it near the Fuse Box or do I have to remove the gauge assembly to get to the back?
Where do I find the 30P ECM connector - fuse box or at the ECM?

Further on it says to use HDS which I don't have. What do you guys do with that?

Sorry for so many questions.

 

Gauge assembly connector will require removing the gauges. ECM connector is a 30P connector plugging into the PCM/ECM.

This is the frustrating part with newer cars. The steps requiring the HDS are tricky, because you don't have one. Try the non HDS steps to hopefully you'll find something obviously wrong in the system.

 

Thanks! Tomorrow's fun.
