DTC U0301:  PGM-FI System and Transmission System Program Version Mismatch

General Description 

GHH307025Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The controller area network (CAN) uses two signal lines. F-CAN A and F-CAN B, and it receives and transmits multiple signals simultaneously to/from multiple control modules. When the software version in the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) are mismatched for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
