DTC U0130: Lost Communication with Steering Effort Control Module: Procedure

  1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
      WARNING:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      NOTE:
      • w/ Navigation System:

        After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected. Refer to INITIALIZATION .

    1. Disconnect the E84 steering control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      E84-9 (CANH) - E84-20 (CANL) Engine switch off 54 to 69 Ω

      (to Steering Control ECU)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE STEERING CONTROL ECU BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING CONTROL ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected. Refer to INITIALIZATION .

    2. Disconnect the E82 and E83 steering control ECU connectors.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E82-7 (PGND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      E83-8 (PGD2) - Body ground
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      E82-10 (+B1) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      E82-8 (PIG) - Body ground
      E82-3 (IG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
