AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:U0100

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

DESCRIPTION

The engine control unit communicates with the TCM using the Controller Area Network (CAN).

If there is a problem in this communication, the TCM sets a DTC.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
U0100

Following conditions are met for 1.25 seconds (1 trip detection logic):


  • Engine switch on (IG)

  • Battery voltage is 10.5 V or more

  • No communication between the engine control ECU (ECM) and TCM

  • Harness and connector

  • ECM

  • TCM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips


  • Refer to inspection procedure for CAN communication system.

  • 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 the data will not be useful for the inspection. However, reading the Data List as the first step in troubleshooting is effective to find malfunctions.

  • The malfunction area can be checked using the Bus Check function on the intelligent tester Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (+B AND E1 TERMINALS)

      (to TCM)

      Disconnect the TCM connector.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      E7-18 (+B) - E7-8 (E1) Engine switch on (IG) 9 to 14 V

    4. Turn the engine switch off.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E7-8 (E1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E7-6 (CAN+) - E26-31 (CAN+) Always Below 1 Ω
      E7-7 (CAN-) - E26-1 (CAN-) Always Below 1 Ω
      E7-6 (CAN+) or E26-31 (CAN+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E7-7 (CAN-) or E26-1 (CAN-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK IF DTC OUTPUT RECURS


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTCs.

    3. Replace the TCM.

      Tech Tips

      Replace the TCM with a TCM from a normally functioning vehicle of the same model.

    4. Start the engine.

    5. Read the DTCs.
