DTC U0073: Control Module Communication Bus OFF; DTC U0100: Lost Communication with ECM / PCM; DTC U0124: Lost Communication with Lateral Acceleration Sensor Module; DTC U0126: Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module [11/2016 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
    1. Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC.

      Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [11/2016 - ]

      HINT: 

      Perform the above inspection before disconnecting any sensors or connectors.

    Result Proceed to
    There is a constant interruption. (Error is displayed without interruption.) A
    There are no momentary interruptions. B
    There are momentary interruptions. (Error is displayed intermittently.) C

    See step  3

    Result:

    See step  4

    Result:

    Go to next step 

  2. CHECK IF EACH CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED (ECM, SENSOR) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Check if each sensor or ECM connector is securely connected.

      OK

      Each connector is securely connected.

    Result:

    NG 

    CONNECT CONNECTOR TO EACH SENSOR OR ECM CORRECTLY 

    Result:

    OK 

    Go to next step 

  3. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Record the output DTCs (for VSC system and/or CAN communication system).

      for VSC system: Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2016 - ]

      for CAN communication system: Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [11/2016 - ]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes 

      HINT: 

      If CAN communication system DTCs and related sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, troubleshoot the DTCs (for VSC system) after the CAN communication system returns to normal.

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output. A
      DTCs are output. B
      CAN communication system DTCs are output. C

    Result:

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. 

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2016 - ]

    Result:

    REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS. 

    Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2016 - ]

    Result:

    INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. 

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2016 - ]

  4. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Repair or replace the harness or connector.
    3. Check for any momentary interruptions between the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and each sensor or ECM.

      Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [11/2016 - ]

    NEXT 

    Go to next step 

  5. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Clear the DTCs.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2016 - ]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs 

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.
    4. Start the engine.
    5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph) or more and turn the steering wheel to the right and left.
    6. Check that no CAN communication system DTCs are output.

      Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [11/2016 - ]

    7. If VSC system DTCs are output, record them.

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2016 - ]

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes 

      HINT: 

      The CAN communication system must be normal when performing troubleshooting for sensor DTCs (for VSC system).

    Result Proceed to
    DTCs are not output. A
    DTCs are output. B
    CAN communication system DTCs are output. C

    Result:

    END 

    Result:

    REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS. 

    Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2016 - ]

    Result:

    INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. 

    Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2016 - ]
