U2017:45 Control Module Software #2: Program Memory Failure CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). WAIT 10 seconds. REPEAT the self-test. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U2017:45 is still present, INSTALL a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM). REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U2017:51 Control Module Software #2: Not Programmed CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets due to incomplete or improper programming. If there have been recent service actions with this module, REPEAT/PERFORM the ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING as directed by the scan tool. REFER to APIM PROGRAMMING . If there have been no recent service actions, INSTALL a new module to correct the failure to retain configuration data. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U2017:52 Control Module Software #2: Not Activated CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets due to incomplete or improper programming. If there have been recent service actions with this module, REPEAT/PERFORM the ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING as directed by the scan tool. REFER to APIM PROGRAMMING . If there have been no recent service actions, INSTALL a new module to correct the failure to retain configuration data. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U2017:54 Control Module Software #2: Missing Calibration CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets due to incomplete or improper programming. If there have been recent service actions with this module, REPEAT/PERFORM the ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING as directed by the scan tool. REFER to APIM PROGRAMMING . If there have been no recent service actions, INSTALL a new module to correct the failure to retain configuration data. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U2100:00 Initial Configuration Not Complete: No Sub Type Information CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets due to incomplete or improper programming. If there have been recent service actions with this module, REPEAT/PERFORM the ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING as directed by the scan tool. REFER to APIM PROGRAMMING . If there have been no recent service actions, INSTALL a new module to correct the failure to retain configuration data. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U2101:00 Control Module Configuration Incompatible: No Sub Type Information CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets due to incomplete or improper programming. If there have been recent service actions with this module, REPEAT/PERFORM the ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) PROGRAMMING as directed by the scan tool. REFER to APIM PROGRAMMING . If there have been no recent service actions, INSTALL a new module to correct the failure to retain configuration data. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U3000:04 Control Module: System Internal Failure CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REPEAT the self-test. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U3000:04 is still present, INSTALL a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM). REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
U3000:41 Control Module: General Checksum Failure CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REPEAT the self-test. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U3000:41 is still present, INSTALL a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM). REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .

U3000:88 Control Module: Bus Off
NOTE: Network communication/message Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may result from intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures such as module reprogramming often set these Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). To avoid repeat network concerns, INSPECT for damaged or corroded wiring at the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM). Test the vehicle battery, REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM . Replacing a module to resolve a network Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is unlikely to resolve the concern.
The module could not communicate on the network at a point in time. The fault is currently not present. CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
