Pinpoint Test Ai: Abs Module Communication Concern With Pcm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the PCM sends messages to the ABS module over the FD-CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the allotted time frame or if the messages contain invalid data, the module sets a DTC. This can be due to a PCM failure, a circuit failure on the network or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the PCM, refer to the Network Message Chart in NETWORK MESSAGE CHART .
