Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information CEM-U000188

Condition
The control modules transmit and receive information via a standardized serial communication method - CAN (Control Area Network).
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:
- Incorrect message sent/received on the HS-CAN network.
The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:
- Starting the control module's CAN communication.

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").

Hint: Control module will remain shut off until the power supply is broken (15, 30, X). When the power supply is connected the control module will make a new attempt to communicate.

Possible source
- Open-circuit in one or both CAN cables in part of the network.
