DTC U1281, U1288, U128F (Gauge Control Module) (2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023)
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:
- 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)
NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A .
- Problem verification
-1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
Clear DTCs
-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.

YES
Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time, Check for loose or poor connections.
- Open wire check (B-CAN_H, B-CAN_L lines)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Disconnect the receiving control unit connector.
Gauge control module 32P connector -3. Disconnect the transmitting control unit connectors.

YES
The B-CAN_L to B-CAN_H wire is OK. Go to step 3.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the wire(s).
- Determine possible failure area (the receiving control unit or the transmitting control unit)
-1. Reconnect all connectors.
-2. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

YES
Check for loose terminals and poor connections in the gauge control module connector. Check is OK, replace the gauge control module .
NO
The gauge control module is OK at this time. Replace the transmitting control unit.
(Refer to the DTC code shown on the display, and then replace the control unit based on the instructions in the table below.)
