DTC U0101: Lost Communication with TCM: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC U0101)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs.
Result
Result Proceed to DTC U0101 is output A DTC U0101 and other DTCs are output B HINT:
If any DTCs other than U0101 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B → See step 7
A: Go to next step
- INSPECT ECU POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (TCM POWER SOURCE)
- Disconnect the TCM connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B52-18 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V B52-1 (BATT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V - Reconnect the TCM connector.
NG → See step 8
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the TCM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Condition Condition Specified Condition B52-8 (E1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the TCM connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
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 (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B52-6 (CAN+) - B51-30 (CAN+) Always Below 1 Ω B52-7 (CAN-) - B51-36 (CAN-) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B52-6 (CAN+) or B51-30 (CAN+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher B52-7 (CAN-) or B51-36 (CAN-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the ECM connector and TCM connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE ECM
- Replace the ECM, refer to REMOVAL .
NEXT: Go to next step
- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC U0101)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs.
Result
Result Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC U0101 is output B
B → See step 9
A → REPAIR COMPLETED
- GO TO DTC CHART. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
- GO TO TCM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT. Refer to ECU Power Source Circuit
- REPLACE TCM. Refer to REMOVAL
