Theory of Operation

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives information from the Engine, Anti-lock Brake System, and the Electronic Gear Shift control modules over the CAN C bus. The CAN C bus is a high speed communication bus that allows real time control capability between various controllers. Most messages are sent every 20 msec, this means critical information can be shared between multiple controllers almost instantaneously. The CAN C bus is a two wire bus with a CAN (+) and a CAN (-) circuit. To reduce the potential of radio and other electrical noise interference, the CAN Bus circuit wiring is manufactured using a twisted pair configuration within the electrical wiring harness.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The DTC will set if multiple ABS wheel speed signals are invalid.





Always perform the NAG1 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK THE FCM FOR DTCS
With the scan tool, check for FCM DTCs.
Does the FCM report the DTC U0001-CAN C BUS DTC or U0121-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE?

Yes

- Refer to Communications Test for this DTC and/or Manufacturer Code Charts. Perform the diagnostic procedure for U0001-CAN C BUS DTC first if it is present.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 2

2. CHECK FOR ABS DTCS
With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.
Are there any ABS DTCs present?

Yes

- Diagnose and repair the DTC(s).
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the TCM.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests
