DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U0151
DTC U0151:F-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-SRS Unit)

General Description
Without CAN gateway

With CAN gateway

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 powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive the signals from the SRS unit via the CAN lines for a certain period of time or receives incorrect message frames, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

F-CAN circuit F-CAN_L*1, F-CAN A_L*2 line open
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_H*1, F-CAN A_H*2 line short to ground
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_L*1, F-CAN A_L*2 line short to ground
F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_H*2 line open
F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_L*2 line open
F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_H*2 line short to ground
F-CAN circuit F-CAN B_L*2 line short to ground

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.
