Pinpoint Test Y : U0140:00 (APIM (Sync Module) / GFM (Generic Function Module) / DSP (Audio Digital Signal Processing Module) / TCU (TELEMATIC Control Unit Module))
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The APIM, the DSP, the TCU and the GFM communicates with the BCM over the CAN. If the APIM or the GFM does not receive messages from the BCM, the display screen brightness not operate correctly.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition APIM U0140:00 Lost Communication With Body Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets in continuous memory when the APIM, the DSP, TCU or the GFM detects when network messages are missing from the BCM for more than 5 seconds. Possible Sources
- Network communication concern
- APIM concern
- GFM concern
- DSP concern
- TCU concern
- BCM
- Y1 VERIFY THE CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify if there is an observable symptom present.
Is an observable symptom present?
Yes GO to Y2 No CLEAR the DTC. The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - Y2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.
Does the BCM pass the network test?
Yes GO to Y3 No REFER to: Communications Network . - Y3 CHECK FOR NON-NETWORK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the self-test for the module in question setting the DTC.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes DIAGNOSE all non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. REFER to the appropriate DTC Chart in Audio System No GO to Y4 - Y4 CHECK FOR NON-NETWORK BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) . No GO to Y5 - Y5 RECHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0140:00
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for the module in question setting the DTC.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the self-test for the module in question setting the DTC.
Is DTC U0140:00 still present?
Yes GO to Y6 No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - Y6 CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERNNOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration can be incorrectly set during the PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.
- CHECK the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the BCM and the module in question setting the DTC. If recent service history is found:
- verify correct replacement module was installed
- vehicle parts build list may be used to verify correct part fitment
- verify the configuration of replacement module was correct
- re-configure module using as-built data if prior configuration is suspect
- verify the module was not obtained from a like vehicle and installed into vehicle with concern
- return the swapped module to source vehicle and obtain new replacement module
- verify correct replacement module was installed
- Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.
Is the observable symptom still present?
Yes GO to Y7 No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration. - CHECK the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the BCM and the module in question setting the DTC. If recent service history is found:
- Y7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all the BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
