DTC U0155: F-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-Gauge Control Module)






General Description

When the powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive the signals from the gauge control module via the CAN lines for more than a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.
