DTC U1016: Loss Of Communication With Pcm: Testing
- If BCM diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step. If BCM diagnostic system check was not performed, go to BCM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
- Turn ignition off. Install scan tool. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, attempt to establish communications with PCM. If communications can be established, go to next step. If communications cannot be established, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
- Using scan tool, select BCM DTCs function. Check for DTC U1255. If DTC U1255 exists, go to DTC U1255, SERIAL DATA LINE MALFUNCTION . If DTC U1255 does not exist, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, select IPC DTCs function. Check for DTC U1016. If DTC U1016 exists, go to BCM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . If DTC U1016 does not exist, go to next step.
- Check serial data line for following intermittent conditions:
- An open in serial data line between BCM and PCM.
- Short to ground.
- Short to voltage.
- Check splice pack No. 206 (ensure bus bar is properly inserted).
- Loose or damaged terminals.
If no problem is found, go to next step. If problem is found, repair as necessary. Go to step 8).
- Turn ignition off. Reinstall all components and connectors. Turn ignition on. Clear DTCs. Check for DTCs. If DTC U1016 is current, go to next step. If DTC U1016 is not current, system is operating properly.
- Replace BCM. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Reprogram BCM. See BCM PROGRAMMING/RPO CONFIGURATION . Go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Reinstall all components and connectors. Turn ignition on. Clear DTCs. Perform BCM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
