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 communication 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 and multi-mode manual transaxle warning light, and store this DTC.

DTC No.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

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 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.
