Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
With the ignition ON, the PCM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the specified time frame, the ABS module sets DTCs. This can be due to a PCM failure, a circuit failure on the HS-CAN or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the PCM, Anti-Lock Control .
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| U0100 | Lost Communication with ECM / PCM | This DTC sets in continuous memory if the ABS module does not receive any messages from the PCM. |
