DTC U0230, U1281, U1288, U128F (Gauge control module)

DTC U0230  : Gauge control module lost communication with PTG

DTC U1281  : Gauge control module lost communication with MICU (MICU frame)

DTC U1288  : Gauge Control Module Lost Communication With PARKSR

DTC U128F  : Gauge control module lost communication with BSI unit

NOTE:
  • NOTE:  If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Refer to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks .
  • Refer to the DTC code shown on the display, and then inspect the connectors and terminals based on the instructions in the table below.
  • The DTC may be stored due to the grounding failure or the power source failure at the transmitting control unit (the grounding inspection and the power source inspection on each control unit are required prior to this checking process).

DTC (Gauge Control Module)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

    -3. Wait for at least 6 seconds.

    -4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are any DTCs indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time, Check for loose or poor connections.

  2. Open wire check (B-CAN_H, B-CAN_L line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the receiving control unit connector.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

    -3. Disconnect the transmitting control unit connectors.

    Refer to the DTC shown on the display, then disconnect the connector(s) based on the instructions (see table).

    DTC Connector
    U0230 Power tailgate control unit connector A (24P)
    U1281 Under-dash fuse/relay box connector M (12P)
    U1288 Parking and back-up sensor control unit 16P connector
    U128F Left side BSI radar unit 6P connector

    -4. Check for continuity between the receiving control unit and the transmitting control unit on the B-CAN_H circuit and the B-CAN_L circuit as specified in the table while in the vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode.

    DTC CIRCUIT NAME RECEIVING CONTROL UNIT TRANSMITTING CONTROL UNIT
    U0230 B-CAN_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 30 Power tailgate control unit connector A (24P) No. 6
    B-CAN_L Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 31 Power tailgate control unit connector A (24P) No. 7
    U1281 B-CAN_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 30 Under-dash fuse/relay box connector M (12P) No. 7
    B-CAN_L Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 31 Under-dash fuse/relay box connector M (12P) No. 1
    U1288 B-CAN_H Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 30 Parking and back-up sensor control unit 16P connector No. 9
    B-CAN_L Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 31 Parking and back-up sensor control unit 16P connector No. 2

    B-CAN_L Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 31 Left side BSI radar unit 6P connector No. 5

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The B-CAN_L to B-CAN_H wire is OK. According to the detected DTC on the following table replace the correspond control unit.

    DTC Operation for Transmitting Control Unit
    U0230 Power tailgate control unit - Refer to: Power Tailgate Control Unit Removal and Installation
    U1281 Under-dash fuse/relay box - Refer to: Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation (2019) or Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation
    U1288 Parking and back-up sensor control unit
    DTC Operation for Transmitting Control Unit
    U128F Left side BSI radar unit

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the B-CAN_H and/or B-CAN_L wire.
