DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U01B0 (1.5L Engine, PGM-FI System) (2025)
DTC U01B0 : PGM-FI - 12 Volt Battery Sensor LIN Communication Error
General Description
The local interconnect network (LIN) line connects the 12 volt battery sensor and the powertrain control module (PCM). The LIN uses a master/slave protocol to send and receive data to the different components on the line. The PCM is the master unit, which controls the engine electrical system. The 12 volt battery sensor unit is the slave. The 12 volt battery sensor receives data from the PCM and provides feedback to the PCM, which allows the PCM to operate the engine electrical system efficiently. When the PCM does not receive signals from the 12 volt battery sensor within its specified amount of time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type

Enable Conditions
| Condition | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Elapsed time after the vehicle condition is turned to the ON mode | 3 seconds | - |
| 12 volt battery voltage [Battery] | 10.0 V | - |
[ ]: HDS Parameter
Malfunction Threshold
Either one of the conditions is met for at least 5 seconds:
- The PCM cannot receive any information from the 12 volt battery sensor via the LIN line.
- The information sent from the 12 volt battery sensor is abnormal.
Possible Cause
The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- 12 volt battery sensor LIN(BATT_SENSOR) line open
- 12 volt battery sensor LIN(BATT_SENSOR) line short
- 12 volt battery sensor failure (include fuse fall-outs)
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details* 1
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.

Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
