DTC U0073: Control Module Communication Bus Off; DTC U0100: Lost Communication with ECM / PCM "A"; DTC U0126: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module; DTC U0129: Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module [08/2020 - ]: Description

The 4WD ECU assembly inputs the signals sent from the ECM, skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and steering sensor via CAN communication.

When DTCs indicating a CAN communication system malfunction are output, repair the CAN communication system before repairing each corresponding sensor.
