Transmission Control Module (TCM)

U0401-IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM ECM/PCM

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The messages sent on the CAN bus are distinguished by an identifier (ID). Each CAN ID is defined to contain a certain number of bytes. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) verifies that it has received the proper number of bytes for each ID.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, one valid CAN message received at least once, and no U0002-CAN C Bus Off Performance DTC present.

- Set Condition:
When the TCM detects an incorrect CAN message from the Engine Control Module (ECM).





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. . Testing and Inspection

1. CHECK IF CAN BUS DTCS ARE PRESENT
1. With the scan tool, check for CAN DTCs.

Are there any CAN BUS DTCs present?

Yes

- Refer to DTC Based Diagnostics and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. NAG1 Transmission Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. CHECK IF ENGINE DTCS ARE PRESENT
1. With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs.

Are there any Engine DTCs present?

Yes

- Refer to DTC Based Diagnostics and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. NAG1 Transmission Verification Test.

No

- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the TCM.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. NAG1 Transmission Verification Test.
