The control modules in the car continually transmit and receive information over the CAN (control area network) data network. When the brake control module (BCM) is supplied with voltage, the CAN controller which handles control area network communication is initialized.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if initialization of the CAN controller fails.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed while the ignition is switched on.
