Pinpoint Test E: U0100:00 Or U0293:00
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The IPMA communicates with the PCM through the FD-CAN, GWM and FD-CAN.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition IPMA U0100:00 Lost Communication With ECM/PCM "A": No Sub Type Information Sets in continuous memory in the IPMA if data messages received from the PCM through the GWM are missing for 5 seconds or longer. IPMA U0293:00 Lost Communication with Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets in continuous memory in the IPMA if data messages received from the PCM through the GWM are missing for 5 seconds or longer. Possible Sources
- Communication network concern
- PCM
- GWM concern
- IPMA concern
- E1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER'S CONCERN
- Ignition ON.
- Verify if there is an observable symptom present.
Is an observable symptom present?
Yes GO to E2 No CLEAR the DTC. The system is operation correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - E2 VERIFY THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOL COMMUNICATES WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the network test
Does the PCM pass the network test?
Yes GO to E3 No REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network . REFER to: Ethernet Module Communications Network . - E3 PERFORM THE IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPMA self-test.
- Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Repeat the IPMA self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes DIAGNOSE all non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to the IPMA DTC Chart. No GO to E4 - E4 PERFORM THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCMKOEO.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
Yes DIAGNOSE all non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . No GO to E5 - E5 PERFORM THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the GWM self-test.
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 E6 - E6 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, perform the continuous memory self-test.
- Check the IPMA Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Is DTC U0100:00 still present?
Yes GO to E7 No The system is operating correctly at this time. This DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. - E7 CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERNNOTE: 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 PCM, IPMA or GWM. 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 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
- 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 E8 No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration. - CHECK the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the PCM, IPMA or GWM. If recent service history is found:
- E8 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all 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 to 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, refer to PCM GUIDED ROUTINE TESTING
Internet Explorer version 11 or greater is required to perform this Pinpoint Test.No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
