Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information HCM-E003

Condition
The control modules transmit and receive information via a standardized serial communication method - CAN (Control Area Network). The Central electronic module (CEM) regularly transmits messages on the CAN network. These messages contain information about which signal configuration ID applies to the vehicle. The control modules on the CAN network have the same signal configuration ID so that they can communicate with each other. The control module compares its configuration ID with the signal configuration transmitted on the control area network (CAN) by the central electronic module (CEM).
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:
- The control module's configuration ID differ from the ID that the Central electronic module (CEM) transmits.
The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:
- Activated control module.

Note! The control module can only detect the fault once the test has been started and the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored when the conditions are met.





Substitute value
- Control module shuts itself off ("bus-off").

Possible source
- Incorrect configuration ID (the control module is not intended for this vehicle, for example it is a used control module with different software/hardware).
- Open-circuit in the CAN cables between the control module and the Central Electronic Module (CEM).

Fault symptom[s]
- Text window and warning symbol/Text message
- Headlights/Headlight aim is off
- Headlights/Vertical adjustment not influenced by steering wheel
