Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2019 Ford Expedition, 2018 Lincoln MKZ, 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, and 2018 Ford Transit-250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC U0100:00 indicates a possible failure of the HS-CAN which can be due to a circuit fault in the HS-CAN, the PSCM wiring harness or a PCM concern.

Do not install a new PSCM as part of the repair for a PSCM DTC U0100:00.

Initially steering assist remains unaffected, but once the PSCM has detected missing messages from the PCM 3 times, steering assist is reduced to a preset level. The PSCM sends a message to the IPC to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT in the message center.

The presence of DTC U0100:00 prevents the active park assist system (if equipped) and the lane keep assist function (if equipped) from activating. If set during an active park assist event, the event is terminated and the active park assist system is deactivated.
