Pinpoint Test BF: DTC U0100:00

Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

Pinpoint Test BF: DTC U0100:00

Normal Operation

- DTC U0100:00 (Lost Communication With ECM (Engine Control Module) /PCM "A": No Sub-Type Information)- sets in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) if data messages received from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) are missing for greater than 5 seconds. For a complete list of all network messages, refer to Information Bus.

NOTE: Once the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) sets DTC U0100:00, multiple gauges or indicators are likely to be inoperative in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). Other modules that require data from the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) all set communication DTCs and may also exhibit system function concerns.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)

PINPOINT TEST BF : DTC U0100:00

BF1 VERIFY THAT THE SCAN TOOL CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE PCM

- Connect the scan tool.

- Check that a vehicle session can be established using the scan tool.

Can a vehicle session be established?

Yes
GO to BF2.

No
REFER to Information Bus to diagnose no communication with the PCM.

BF2 CHECK THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) CONTINUOUS MEMORY DTCs

- Ignition ON.

- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) Self-Test.

- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) self-test.

Is DTC U0100:00 retrieved again?

Yes
GO to BF3.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.

BF3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) self-test.

Is DTC U3003:16 or DTC U3003:17 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test BX (U3003:16) or GO to Pinpoint Test BY (U3003:17). Pinpoint Test BX: DTC U3003:16 Pinpoint Test BY: DTC U3003:17

No
GO to BF4.

BF4 CHECK FOR DTC U0100:00 SET IN OTHER MODULES

- Ignition ON.

- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self-Test.

- Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from all modules.

Is DTC U0100:00 set in the Restraints Control Module (RCM)?

Yes
INSTALL a new PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
INSTALL a new IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
