Theory Of Operation

Some controllers communicate with other controllers over the CAN C BUS. The Electronic Shift Module (ESM) continuously monitors BUS activity and reads the messages it needs. The CAN C BUS is also used to communicate the MIL status to the Engine Controller.

Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and perform the U0141-Lost Communication with IPM (FCM/TIPM) diagnostic procedure.
