    Go to step 7. Refer to:  7

    TCM and GAUGE CONTROL MODULE 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 TCM.

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

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 24P connector
    TCM 58P connector

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
      TCM 58P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 24P connector No. 14

    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 TCM. Update the TCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good TCM , then recheck. If DTC U0101 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC U0101 goes away and the TCM was substituted, replace the original TCM .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the F-CAN A_L wire between the PCM and the CAN gateway.

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

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.
