DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U129E

DTC U129E:F-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-Power Control Unit (PCU))

General Description

The controller area network (CAN) transmits/receives pulsing signals to/from the control modules simultaneously by using two signal lines (F-CAN_H and F-CAN_L). When the information is not sent from the body control module via the F-CAN lines and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from the body control module is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

[ ]: HDS Parameter

Malfunction Threshold

Either of the condition is met:

	The PCM cannot receive any signals from the body control module via the F-CAN lines for at least 1.5 seconds.
	The information sent from the body control module is abnormal at least 20 times.

Possible Cause

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

	F-CAN circuit F-CAN A_H line open
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN A_L line open
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN A_H line short to ground
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN A_L line short to ground
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_H line open
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_L line open
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_H line short to ground
	F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_L line short to ground
	Body control module failure (include fuse fall-outs)
	PCM internal circuit failure

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC

When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
