Pinpoint Test AE: Abs Module Communication Concern With PSCM

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the PSCM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. 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 PSCM 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 PSCM, refer to Network Message Chart .

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
ABS U0131:00 Lost Communication With Power Steering Control Module 'A': No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the ABS module does not receive any messages from the PSCM within the allowed time.
ABS U0420:00 Invalid Data Received from Power Steering Control Module 'A': No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the ABS module receives messages from the PSCM, but the messages contain invalid data.
