DTC U0155: F-CAN Malfunction (ECM/PCM-Gauge Control Module)

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0155 indicated?

YES -Go to step 4.

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the ECM/PCM.
Check for body electrical DTCs in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Is DTC B1168, B1169, and/or B1178 indicated?

YES -Go to step 5.

NO -Do the gauge control module input test (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE INPUT TEST ).
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
Remove the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).
Connect gauge control module 36P connector terminal No. 29 to body ground with a jumper wire.

Is there continuity?

YES -Go to step 11.

NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E11) and the gauge control module, then go to step 13.
Connect gauge control module 36P connector terminal No. 28 to body ground with a jumper wire.

Is there continuity?

YES -Substitute a known-good gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 13 and recheck. If DTC U0155 is not indicated, replace the original gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 13.

NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E24) and the gauge control module, then go to step 13.
Reconnect all connectors.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0155 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.

NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
