    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A wires are OK. Update the battery condition monitor module if it does not have the latest software, then recheck. If the DTC U0100 goes away and the battery condition monitor module was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the DTC U0100 goes away and the battery condition monitor module was substituted, replace the original battery condition monitor module - Refer to: Battery Condition Monitor Module Removal and Installation (2014-15) .

    NO 

    Repair an open or poor connection in the F-CAN A wires between the CAN gateway and the battery condition monitor module.

  5. Open wire check (F-CAN A lines)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    Change SCS State

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 24P connector - Refer to: CAN Gateway Removal and Installation (2014-15)
    PCM connector A (51P) - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014-15)

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 respectively.
