DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U0029 (A/T System)

DTC U0029  : PF-CAN A Malfunction (Bus-Off)

General Description 

GHH477631Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The controller area network (CAN) transmits/receives pulsing signals to/from the control modules simultaneously by using two signal lines (F-CAN_H and F-CAN_L). When the transmission control module (TCM) cannot send the signals via the F-CAN lines for a set time, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
