| 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 transmission warning light and set a DTC.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| U0100 | No communication with the ECM (1-trip detection logic) |

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
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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Following the display on the tester, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calculated Engine Load [Calc E/G Load] |
Calculated load by ECM: Min.: 0 %, Max.: 100 % |
10 to 25%: Idling 5 to 20%: Running without load (2500 rpm) |

| Engine Coolant Temperature [Coolant Temp] |
Coolant temperature: Min.: -40°C , Max.: 215°C |
75 to 95°C (167 to 203°F): After engine warmed up |
|
| Backup Engine Speed [Bacup Engin Spd] |
Back-up engine speed: Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 8160 rpm |
0 rpm: Vehicle stopped Approximately same as tachometer reading: Vehicle running |
0 rpm displayed when malfunction in CAN communication |
| Accelerator Pedal Angle [Accel Pedl Angl] |
Accelerator pedal angle Min.: 0%, Max.: 100% |
0%: Accelerator pedal released | 0% displayed when malfunction in CAN communication |
