Pinpoint Test CE : U0151:00

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CE1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN

Ignition ON.

Verify there is an observable symptom present.

Is an observable symptom present?

Yes

GO to CE2

No	CLEAR the DTC. The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.

CE2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the network test.
Does the RCM pass the network test?

Yes GO to CE3

No REFER to: Communications Network .

CE3 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes REFER to DTC Chart: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) .

No GO to CE4

CE4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CM DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Communications Network .

No GO to CE5

CE5 PERFORM THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the RCM self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) .

No GO to CE6

CE6 RECHECK THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the IPC Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Ignition OFF.

Ignition ON.

Wait 10 seconds.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the continuous memory self-test.

Check the IPC Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Is DTC U0151:00 still present?

Yes

GO to CE7

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.

CE7 CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERN

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.

CHECK the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the RCM, GWM or IPC. If recent service history is found:
- verify correct replacement module was installed
  - HVBOM 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 customer vehicle
  - return the swapped module to source vehicle and obtain new replacement module

Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.

Is the observable symptom still present?

Yes

GO to CE8

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration.

CE8 CHECK FOR CORRECT RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all RCM connectors and related in-line 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 all the RCM connectors and related in-line 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 RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM) .

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.
