Pinpoint Test Aa: Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) Module Communication Concern With GWM (Gateway Module A)

  1. Refer to Horn/Cigar Lighter for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    With the ignition ON, the GWM sends messages to the ABS module over the FD-CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within a certain time frame (usually less than 1 second), the ABS module sets DTC s. This can be due to a GWM failure, a circuit failure on the FD-CAN or an excessive load on the network.

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    ABS U0146:00 Lost Communication With Serial Data Gateway 'A': No Sub Type Information This DTC sets in the ABS module if the IPC messages from the GWM are missing for more than 5 seconds.

    Possible Causes 

    • Network communication concern
    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • GWM
    • ABS module

  2. AA1 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

    • Ignition ON.

    • Clear the ABSDTC s.

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Wait at least 1 minute.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, RETRIEVE DTC s from the vehicle.
      NOTE: DTC s may be displayed from previous diagnostic actions.

    Does theGWM pass the network test? 

    Yes  RETRIEVE and RECORD all GWMDTC s. REFER to the SASMDTC Chart.If there are no DTC s in the GWM GO to  AA2
    No  REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network - System Operation and Component Description
    to diagnose the module not responding to the scan tool.
  3. AA2 CHECK THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) S

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Carry out the ABS self-test.

    Are any of the DTC s listed in the Fault Setting Conditions Table retrieved again? 

    Yes  GO to  AA3
    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
  4. AA3 CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERN

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

    • Check the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to theGWM or the ABS module. If recent service history is found:

      • Verify the correct replacement module was installed. HVBOM may be used to verify correct part fitment.
      • Verify the configuration of replacement module was correct. Re-configure the module using as-built data if prior configuration is suspect.
      • Verify the module was not obtained from a like vehicle and installed into customer vehicle. Return the swapped module to source vehicle and obtain a new replacement module.

    • Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.

    Is the observable symptom still present? 

    Yes  GO to  AA4
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration.
  5. AA4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect ABS Module connector, C1990.

    • Using a good light source, INSPECT the electrical connector for the following:

      • Corrosion - INSTALL new connector or terminal and clean the module pins
      • Damaged or bent pins - INSTALL new terminals or pins
      • Pushed-out pins - INSTALL new pins as necessary
      • Spread terminals - INSTALL new terminals as necessary

    • Connect ABS Module connector, C1990. Make sure the connector 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 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 EBB module. REFER to: Electric Brake Booster (EBB) - LHD 4WD/LHD RWD
     
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
