2AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: U0101: Lost Communication with TCM
U0101 - Lost Communication with TCM

DESCRIPTION

The ECM (engine control unit) communicates with the TCM (transmission control ECU) through the Controller Area Network (CAN).

If there is a problem with this communication, the ECM stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) DTC Check / Clear.

4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

6. Wait 5 seconds or more.

7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

8. Read the DTCs.

HINT
* If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

10. Input the DTC: U0101.

11. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
* If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

12. If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
