DTC U0131 (Gauge Control Module) (2014 2015 2016 2017)

DTC U0131  : Gauge Control Module Lost Communication With EPS Control Unit

DTC (Gauge Control Module)

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information .

1. CAN gateway system DTC check

   -1. Check for CAN gateway system DTCs with the HDS.

   DTC Description	DTC
   U0029-00 CAN Gateway F-CAN ch A Bus Off
   U0047-00 CAN Gateway F-CAN ch B Bus Off
   U0056-00 CAN Gateway F-CAN ch C Bus Off
   U3000-49 CAN Gateway Internal Failure

   Is DTC U0029-00, U0047-00, U0056-00, and/or U3000-49 indicated?

   YES 

   Go to the troubleshooting for CAN gateway system DTC (s) .

   NO 

   Go to step 2.

2. F-CAN circuit communication check

   -1. Select the FUNCTION TEST in the CAN gateway with the HDS, then select the F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check.

   F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check

   Which result is indicated?

   GAUGE CONTROL MODULE (Bus A) is Not Available

   Go to step 3.

   EPS CONTROL UNIT (Bus C) is Not Available

   Go to step 5.

   GAUGE CONTROL MODULE and EPS CONTROL UNIT are Detected

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module, the CAN gateway, and the EPS control unit.

3. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

   Gauge control module connector A (32P)

   CAN gateway 24P connector

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
   	CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	F-CAN A_H
   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 27 (BLU)
   Test point 2	CAN gateway 24P connector No. 14 (BLU)

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The F-CAN A_H wire is OK. Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the F-CAN A_H wire between the gauge control module and the CAN gateway.

4. Open wire check (F-CAN A_L line)

   -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
   	CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	F-CAN A_L
   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 28 (PNK)
   Test point 2	CAN gateway 24P connector No. 15 (PNK)

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The F-CAN A_L wire is OK. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CAN gateway and the gauge control module. Substitute a good-known gauge control module , then recheck. If DTC U0131 is not indicated the gauge control module was substituted, replace the original gauge control module .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the F-CAN A_L wire between the gauge control module and the CAN gateway.

5. Open wire check (F-CAN C_H line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

   EPS control unit connector B (6P)

   CAN gateway 24P connector

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	EPS control unit connector B (6P): disconnected
   	CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	F-CAN C_H
   Test point 1	EPS control unit connector B (6P) No. 5 (YEL)
   Test point 2	CAN gateway 24P connector No. 9 (PUR)

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The F-CAN C_H wire is OK. Go to step 6.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the F-CAN C_H wire between the EPS control unit and the CAN gateway.

6. Open wire check (F-CAN C_L line)

   -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	EPS control unit connector B (6P): disconnected
   	CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	F-CAN C_L
   Test point 1	EPS control unit connector B (6P) No. 2 (PUR)
   Test point 2	CAN gateway 24P connector No. 8 (PNK)

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The F-CAN C_L wire is OK. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CAN gateway and the EPS control unit. Update the EPS control unit if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good EPS control unit , then recheck. If DTC U0131 goes away and the EPS control unit was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC U0131 goes away and the EPS control unit was substituted, replace the original EPS control unit .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the F-CAN C_L wire between the EPS control unit and the CAN gateway.
