DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition SIMA U012A:00 Lost Communication with Chassis Control Module 'A': No Sub Type Information A continuous monitoring DTC that sets in the SIMA if the CHCM "A" did not respond to SIMA requests. Possible Sources
- FD-CAN concern
- Battery voltage concern
- CHCM
- C1 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Connect the diagnostic tool.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform a network test.
Does the CHCM pass the network test?
Yes GO to C2 No Refer to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network . - C2 RECHECK THE SIMA (SWITCH INPUT MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the DTCs.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check for SIMA DTCs.
Is DTC U012A:00 retrieved again?
Yes GO to C3 No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent voltage condition. - C3 RETRIEVE THE CHCM (CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE) DTCS
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the CHCM self-test.
Are any CHCM DTCs present?
Yes Refer to: Front Stabilizer Bar Disconnect . No GO to C4 - C4 CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U012A:00 SET IN OTHER MODULES
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.
Is DTC U012A:00 set in other modules?
Yes GO to C5 No GO to C6 - C5 CHECK FOR CORRECT CHCM (CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the CHCM connector.
- 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 CHCM connector. Make sure it seats and latches 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 CHCM. Refer to FRONT STABILIZER BAR DISCONNECT 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. - C6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SIMA (SWITCH INPUT MODULE A) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all SIMA 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 all SIMA connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
