DTC U0100: Lost Communication with ECM / PCM "A"; DTC U0101: Lost Communication with TCM; DTC U0125: Lost Communication with Yaw Rate Sensor Module; DTC U0126: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module; DTC U0129: Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module; DTC U0131: Lost Communication with Power Steering Control Module; DTC U0134: Lost Communication with DRS Module [12/2017 - 10/2023]: Description

The VGRS ECU (front steering control ECU) receives signals from the ECM, skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*1, skid control ECU assembly*2, yaw rate sensor, steering sensor, rack and pinion power steering gear assembly and DRS ECU (rear steering control ECU) via CAN communication. When DTCs indicating a CAN communication system malfunction are output, repair the CAN communication system first.
