MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:U0100

DTC Code DTC Name
U0100 Lost Communication with ECM / PCM "A"

DESCRIPTION

The TCM and ECM perform 2-way communications with each other via the Controller Area Network (CAN). The TCM sends signals to the ECM concerning required engine rpm, required engine torques, warning indicators in the combination meter, DTCs and other data. The ECM sends signals to the TCM concerning engine rpm, opening angles of the throttle valve, temperature of intake air, temperature of engine coolant, engine torques and other data. If the TCM cannot communicate with the ECM, the TCM will conclude that there is a malfunction in the CAN system, illuminate the MIL, illuminate the multi-mode manual transaxle warning light and set a DTC.

Tech Tips

If the CAN communication malfunctions, the TCM cannot receive the current data from the ECM. In this case, the freeze frame data output from the TCM has not been updated, so it will not be useful information for the inspection procedure. However, reading the Data List as the first step of troubleshooting is effective to find malfunctions.

Note


  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

  • In the table below, the values listed under Normal Condition are for reference only. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

To check the Data List, perform the following procedure using the intelligent tester.


  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the ignition switch off.

  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  5. Turn the tester on.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Multi-Mode M/T / Data List.

  7. In accordance with the display on the tester, read the Data List.

      (to TCM)

      Disconnect the TCM connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F68-1 (+B) - F68-6 (GND) Always 11 to 14 V

    NG

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - BODY GROUND) Click here

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - TCM)


    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A59-17 (CANP) - A47-1 (CAN+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A59-16 (CANN) - A47-2 (CAN-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A59-17 (CANP) or A47-1 (CAN+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A59-16 (CANN) or A47-2 (CAN-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. REPLACE ECM


    1. Replace the ECM (See page ENGINE CONTROL (1ND-TV) > ECM > REMOVAL).

      CAUTION:

      Replace the ECM with a normally functioning ECM of the same model vehicle.
