DTC U2105-U2199

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor
DTC U2142 00
- Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor (YRS)

Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) activates the other modules connected to the CAN serial data circuits by applying voltage when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. The EBCM, Yaw Rate Sensor, and the Steering Angle Sensor are the only modules connected to the CAN bus serial data circuits. For more information on CAN bus serial data refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation (Description and Operation).

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
* The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES), if equipped, and traction control system (TCS) will not function.
* System OFF lamps will illuminate for these systems.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw rate sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the module low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the module voltage circuit terminal 9 and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the yaw rate sensor.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
