DTC U0110: F-CAN Malfunction (PCM-MCM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    Are DTC U0028 and U0110 indicated at the same time? 

    YES  -Go to the troubleshooting for DTC U0028.

    NO  -Go to step  4.

  4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC U0110 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step  6.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the motor control module (MCM) and the PCM.

  6. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS again.

    Are DTC U0110 and U1205 indicated at the same time? 

    YES  -Go to step  7.

    NO  -Update the motor control module (MCM) if it does not have the latest software (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good MCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE MCM ), then go to step  27 and recheck. If DTC U0110 is not indicated with a known-good MCM, replace the original MCM (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then go to step  27.

  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  8. Turn the battery module switch OFF.
  9. Remove the IPU cover (see IPU COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  10. Remove the PCU lid, the PCU busplate, and the PCU cover (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  11. Check for poor connections at the motor control module (MCM) connector A (31P).

    Are the connections OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  12.

    NO  -Repair the poor connections at the MCM connector A (31P), then go to step  24.

  12. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  13. Measure the voltage between MCM connector terminal A1 and body ground within 1 second.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Go to step 14.

    NO  -Go to step  16.

  14. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  15. Check for continuity between MCM connector terminal A4 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Update the MCM if it does not have the latest software (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good MCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE MCM ), then go to step  23 and recheck. If DTC U0110 is not indicated with a known-good MCM, replace the original MCM (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then go to step  23.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the MCM connector terminal A4 and G901 (see IMA MOTOR POWER CABLE (CARGO AREA BRANCH) ), then go to step  23.

  16. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  17. Remove MCM relay 1.
  18. Test MCM relay 1 (see POWER RELAY TEST ).

    Is MCM relay 1 OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  19.

    NO  -Replace MCM relay 1, then go to step  31.

  19. Check the No. 42 + B IMA1 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  20.

    NO  -

    • Repair a short in the wire between the No. 42 + B IMA1 (10 A) fuse and MCM relay 1. Also replace the No. 42 + B IMA1 (10 A) fuse, then go to step  24.
    • Repair a short in the wire between MCM relay 1 and the MCM. Also replace the No. 42 + B IMA1 (10 A) fuse, then go to step  24.
  20. Measure the voltage between MCM relay 1 4P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Go to step  21.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the + B IMA1 (10 A) fuse and MCM relay 1, then go to step  23.

  21. Check for continuity between MCM relay 1 4P connector terminal No. 1 and MCM connector terminal A1.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Update the MCM if it does not have the latest software (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good MCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE MCM ), then go to step  24 and recheck. If DTC U0110 is not indicated with a known-good MCM, replace the original MCM (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then go to step  24.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the MCM connector terminal A7 and MCM relay 1, then go to step  24.

  23. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  24. Reconnect all connectors.
  25. Reinstall the PCU cover, the PCU busplate, and the PCU lid (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
