DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U0029

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

General Description 

GHH527593Courtesy 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 (PF-CAN_H and PF-CAN_L). When the transmission control module (TCM) cannot send the signals via the PF-CAN lines for a set time, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

The TCM cannot send any signals via the PF-CAN lines for at least 1 second.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:

The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

  • PF-CAN circuit PF-CAN A_H line open
  • PF-CAN circuit PF-CAN A_L line open
  • PF-CAN circuit PF-CAN A_H line short to ground
  • PF-CAN circuit PF-CAN A_L line short to ground

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on, the shift position indicator blinks, and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the TCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. 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, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
