HINT
- If CAN communication malfunctions, the TCM cannot receive the current data from the ECM In this case, the freeze frame data output from the TCM is not updated, so the data will not be useful for the inspection. However, reading the Data List as the first step in troubleshooting is an effective way to find malfunctions.
- The malfunctioning area can be checked using the CAN Bus Check function on the Techstream (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).
- CHECK DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC U0100)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG)
- Turn the Techstream on
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes
- Read the DTCs using the Techstream.
Result
RESULT REFERENCEDisplay (DTC Output) Proceed to Only U0100 is output A U0100 and other DTCs are output B HINT.
If any other codes besides U0100 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
B: GO TO DTC CHART (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )
A: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT TCM (POWER SOURCE, BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the TCM connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG)
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard Voltage
STANDARD VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A58-5 (+B) - A58-2 (E1) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V - Turn the engine switch off.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

NG: CHECK TCM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (See TCM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT )
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - TCM)
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Disconnect the TCM connector
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition A6-10 (CAN+) - A58-21 (CAN+) Always Below 1 Ω A6-9 (CAN-) - A58-13 (CAN-) Always Below 1 Ω A6-10 (CAN+) or A58-21 (CAN+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A6-9 (CAN-) or A58-13 (CAN-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK IF DTC RECURS
- Clear the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR )
- Replace the TCM (See REMOVAL
)
HINT.
Replace the TCM with a TCM of a normally functioning vehicle of the same model
- Start the engine
- Read the DTCs.
