Loss of Communication DTC cross-reference chart

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When an electronic control unit (ECU) is unable to communicate with the other ECUs on the CAN circuit, the other control units will set loss of communication DTCs. Use this chart to find the control unit that is not communicating.

  1. Find the Transmitting Control Unit that is in the same row as all of the loss of communication DTCs retrieved.
  2. Do the input test for the transmitting control unit.
