Adaptive Cruise Control Module (ACC)






U0401-00-IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM PCM

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
Continuously monitored with the engine running and the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Module in normal mode.

- Set Condition:
The ACC Module receives an implausible (default/error value or toggle error or parity error are present) message from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for 600 millisecond. The ACC module will disable the ACC system and the ACC UNAVAILABLE message will display in the Cabin Compartment Node (CCN). Once the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) goes to stored, the ACC system will return to normal operation. The DTC will be cleared after a 100 consecutive key cycles of the STORED DTC.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
