DTC (Gauge Control Module)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

    -3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description DTC
    U0100 Gauge control module lost communication with ENG/AT  
    U0101 Gauge control module lost communication with AT  
    U0122 Gauge control module lost communication with VSA modulator-control unit  
    U0128 Gauge control module lost communication with EPB  
    U0131 Gauge control module lost communication with EPS Unit  
    U0151 Gauge control module lost communication with SRS unit  

    Are any DTCs indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the transmitting control units and the gauge control module.

  2. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H line, F-CAN A_L line)

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

    -2. Disconnect the receiving control unit connector.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

    -3. U0100: Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    SCS short

    U0151: Do the 12 volt battery terminal disconnection procedure , and wait for at least 3 minutes.

    -4. According to the detected DTC on the following table, disconnect the transmitting control unit connector (s).

    DTC Connector
    U0100 PCM connector A (50P)
    U0101 TCM 50P connector
    U0122
    U0128
    VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector
    U0131 EPS control unit connector B (6P)
    U0151 SRS unit connector A (43P)

    -5. Check for continuity between the receiving control unit and the transmitting control unit on the F-CAN A_H circuit and the F-CAN A_L circuit.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
    Transmitting control unit connector (s) for indicated DTCs: disconnected
    DTC Circuit name Receiving control unit Transmitting control unit
    Connector Terminal Connector Terminal
    U0100 F-CAN A_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20 PCM connector A (50P) No. 37
    F-CAN A_L No. 21 No. 36
    U0101 F-CAN A_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20 TCM 50P connector No. 3
    F-CAN A_L No. 21 No. 11

    U0128
    F-CAN A_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20 VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 20
    F-CAN A_L No. 21 No. 21
    U0131 F-CAN A_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20 EPS control unit connector B (6P) No. 4
    F-CAN A_L No. 21 No. 1
    U0151 F-CAN A_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20 SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (KA/KC) No. 16
    F-CAN A_L No. 21 No. 17

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A_H wire and the F-CAN A_L wire are OK.

    According to the detected DTC on the following table, substitute or replace the control unit based on the instructions (see table).

    DTC Operation for transmitting control unit
    U0100 Substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC U0100 goes away after substitution, replace the original PCM .
    U0101 Substitute a known-good TCM , then recheck. If DTC U0101 goes away after substitution, replace the original TCM .
    U0122
    U0128
    Replace the VSA modulator-control unit .
    U0131 Replace the EPS control unit (steering gearbox assembly) .
    U0151 Substitute a known-good SRS unit , then recheck. If DTC U0151 goes away after substitution, replace the original SRS unit .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the F-CAN A_H wire and/or the F-CAN A_L wire between the gauge control module and the transmitting control unit.
