- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition PCM U0126:00 Lost Communication With Steering Angle Sensor Module: No Sub Type Information The PCM sets this DTC if data messages from the SCCM through the GWM are missing. PCM U0212:00 Lost Communication With Steering Column Control Module: No Sub Type Information The PCM sets this DTC if data messages from the SCCM through the GWM are missing. Possible Sources
- Communications network concern
- SCCM
- GWM
- PCM
- B1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify there is an observable symptom present.
Is an observable symptom present?
Yes GO to B2 No The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - B2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform a network test.
Did the SCCM module pass the network test?
Yes GO to B3 No - B3 PERFORM SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform a SCCM self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to: Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components . No GO to B4 - B4 CHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve the BCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes No GO to B5 - B5 PERFORM THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM self-test.
Is DTC P0562 or P0563 recorded?
Yes REFER to DTC Chart: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) No GO to B6 - B6 RECHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during the PMI, or the PMI may not have been carried out.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Repeat the PCM self-test.
Is DTC U0126 or U0212 still present?
Yes GO to B7 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. - B7 CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0126 OR U0212 SET IN OTHER MODULES
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) from all modules.
Is DTC U0126:00 or U0212 set in any other module?
Yes GO to B8 No GO to B9 - B8 CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the SCCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the SCCM 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 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) . 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. - B9 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the PCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the PCM 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 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, Refer to PCM GUIDED ROUTINE TESTING 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.
