Pinpoint Test M: Lost Communication With SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) U0212:87

  1. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    BCM U0212:87 Lost Communication With Steering Column Control Module: Missing Message A continuous memory DTC that sets in the BCM if messages from the SCCM through the GWM are missing.

    Possible Sources 

    • Communication network concern
    • Battery voltage concern
    • GWM
    • SCCM
    • BCM

    NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during the PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.
  2. M1 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

    • Perform a network test.

    Does the SCCM pass the network test? 

    Yes  GO to  M2
    No  DIAGNOSE no communication with the SCCM. REFER to: COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
  3. M2 RETRIEVE THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

    • Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    • Wait 10 seconds.

    • Perform the BCM self-test.

    Is DTC U3006:16 or U3006:17 recorded? 

    Yes  For DTC U3006:16, GO to Pinpoint Test O  For DTC U3006:17, GO to Pinpoint Test P 
    No  GO to  M3
  4. M3 RETRIEVE THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

    • Perform the SCCM self-test.

    Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? 

    Yes  REFER to: Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components .
    No  GO to  M4
  5. M4 RECHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    • Wait 10 seconds.

    • Perform the BCM self-test.

    Is DTC U0212:87 present? 

    Yes  GO to  M5
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
  6. M5 CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0212:87 SET IN OTHER MODULES

    • Clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Wait 10 seconds.

    • Retrieve all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).

    Is DTC U0212:87 set in other modules? 

    Yes  GO to  M6
    No  GO to  M7
  7. M6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect all SCCM connectors.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Reconnect the SCCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
  8. M7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
