DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition IPMA U0252:00 Lost Communication With Lighting Control Module- Rear "B": No Sub Type Information Sets in continuous memory in the IPMA if data messages received from the TRM through the GWM are missing for 5 seconds or longer. Possible Sources
- Network communication concern
- GWM concern
- TRM
- IPMA
- BA1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify there is an observable symptom present.
Is an observable symptom present?
Yes GO to BA2 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. - BA2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.
Does the TRM pass the network test?
Yes GO to BA3 No REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network . REFER to: Ethernet Module Communications Network . - BA3 CARRY OUT THE IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the IPMA self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes DIAGNOSE all non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to DTC Chart: IPMA. No GO to BA4 - BA4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network . REFER to: Ethernet Module Communications Network . No GO to BA5 - BA5 CARRY OUT THE TRM (TRAILER MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the TRM self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes REFER to: Trailer Lamps . No GO to BA6 - BA6 RECHECK THE IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the IPMA Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the continuous memory self-test.
- Check the IPMA Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Is DTC U0252:00 present?
Yes GO to BA7 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. - BA7 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 TRM, GWMor IPMA. If recent service history is found:
- verify correct replacement module was installed
- vehicle parts build 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
- if a new replacement module is installed, CARRY OUT PMI using as-built data
- 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 BA8 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 TRM, GWMor IPMA. If recent service history is found:
- BA8 CHECK FOR CORRECT TRM (TRAILER MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the TRM 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 TRM 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 TRM. REFER to: Trailer Module (TRM) . 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.
