Pinpoint Test Av: Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) Module Communication Concern With GSM (Gear Shift Module)

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the GSM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the specified time frame, the ABS module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to a GSM failure, a circuit failure on the CAN or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the GSM, REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description  .

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
ABS U0103:00 Lost Communication With Gear Shift Control Module A: No Sub Type Information Sets if the GSM messages are missing.
ABS U0404:86 Invalid Data Received from Gear Shift Control Module A: Signal Invalid Sets if the GSM state message or the GSM button quality state is invalid or faulty.
