Pinpoint Test AI: DTC U0121:00

Normal Operation
- U0121:00 (Lost Communication With Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module: No Sub Type Information) - sets by the Headlamp Control Module (HCM) if data messages (steering wheel angle) received from the ABS module 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.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- HCM
- ABS module



PINPOINT TEST AI: DTC U0121:00

-------------------------------------------------
AI1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN


- Ignition ON.
- Verify that there is an observable symptom present.
- Is an observable symptom present?

AI2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK


- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
- Carry out the network test.
- Does the ABS module pass the network test?

Yes
GO to AI3.

No
REFER to Information Bus.
