Fault Modes



Fault Mode 1:




These failures will isolate the ABS/TCCM from the system resulting in the loss of all messages normally transmitted and received by the ABS/TCCM.


Fault Mode 2:




This failure will isolate the TCM from the system resulting in the loss of all messages normally transmitted and received messages by the TCM.


Fault Mode 3:




This failure will isolate the ECM from the system resulting in the loss of all messages normally transmitted and received messages by the ECM.


Fault Mode 4:




This failure will isolate the 'J' gate from the system resulting in the loss of all messages from other nodes.

NOTE: Because the network remains intact, fault 4 does not affect the external diagnostic capability.


Fault Mode 5:




These failures will isolate the Instrument cluster (INST) from the system resulting in the loss of all messages normally transmitted by the INST.


Fault Mode 6:




These failures will divide the network so that communication between the TCM and ABS/TCCM will remain, similarly communication between the ECM and INST will be unaffected.


Fault Mode 7:




This failure will affect the network so that only communication between the ECM and INST will be possible.


Fault Mode 8:




This failure will affect the network so that only communication between the ABS/TCCM and TCM will be possible.


Fault Mode 9:




The failure will prevent ALL network communication
