DTC Code DTC Name
U0129 Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module

DESCRIPTION

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial data communication system for real time applications. This is a vehicle multiplex communication system which has a high communication speed (500 kbps) and a high level of ability to detect malfunctions. By pairing the CANH and CANL bus wires, the communication on the CAN is performed using the voltage differential between the wires.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC U0129)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes

    5. Read the DTCs
