DTC U0100-U02FF (without HP2)
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an
overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Procedure
Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
DTC Descriptor
Refer to Control Module U Code List (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Control Module U Code List).
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data circuit is the means by which the control modules in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the
serial data circuit through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each control module for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs). When the ignition switch is in RUN, each control module communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health
(SOH) message to ensure that the control module is operating properly. When a control module stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for
example if the module loses power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the serial data circuit disappears. Other control modules on
the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those control modules in turn set a DTC associated with the
loss of SOH of the non-communicating control module. The DTC is unique to the control module which is not communicating and one or more
control modules may set the same exact code. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the control modules that
contain the stored code.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
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
* Specific subsystems will not function.
* DTC U0100 in the TCM will cause the transmission to go into default gears.
* Both DTC U0100 in the TCM and DTC U0101 in the ECM will cause the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The ECM/TCM turns OFF the MIL after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the control module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.
