DTC U0047:  F-CAN Malfunction For The Second Channel (BUS-OFF (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)))

General Description 

GHH416951Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

When the powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive the signals via the F-CAN lines for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
