DTC U0100, U0122, U0140, U0155: Lost Communication With ECM/PCM "A", Lost Communication With Vehicle Dynamics, Control Module Lost Communication With Body Control Module, Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Control Module: Notes

Circuit description

The transmission control computer ASSY sends/receives signals to/from ECMs via CAN communication.

NOTE:
  • Problems on the CAN bus (communication line) can be checked from the DLC3 connector. (Except when a DLC3 branch line is disconnected.)
  • Diagnostic codes related to CAN communication can be checked using SSM4.
  • Although DLC3 is connected to the CAN communication line, CAN communication cannot detect problems on the DLC3 branch lines.
DTC No. SAE/TCCS DTC detecting condition

Inspection steps

  1. Read the diagnostic code
    1. Connect the SSM4 to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Read diagnostic codes according to SSM4 display. (Refer to Check list for interview )
    RESULT REFERENCE

    Result Go to
    P160A is not output at the same time. A
    P160A is output at the same time. B

    B: P160A (refer to DTC P160A RAM error )

    A: Go to Next Step.

  2. Read the diagnostic code
    1. Connect the SSM4 to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Read diagnostic codes according to SSM4 display. (Refer to Check list for interview )

    Next: To CAN communication system (Refer to How to troubleshoot )

Sports sequential shift switch system

Circuit description

When the shift is in M position, it can be changed to any gear using the sequential gate of the floor select lever ASSY.
