Circuit Description
The powertrain is controlled when 2-way communication (ordinary condition) exists between the ECM and TCM. A High/Low 2-wire circuit between the ECM and the TCM uses a CAN communications protocol for 2-way communication. This code is stored whenever a problem is detected in the communications function.

Conditions for Setting The DTC
When BUS OFF fault is detected
- Ignition "ON".
- Ignition voltage is between 10.96 V and 16 V.
- Engine is running.
- Receive data is allowed to be used.
- No DTC's below set P0563, P0601, P0604

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
