IMA System (MCM)

Advanced Diagnostics - DTC U0028 (107): F-CAN Malfunction (BUS-OFF (Motor Control Module (MCM))






General Description
The controller area network (CAN) transmits/receives pulsing signals to/from the control modules simultaneously by using two signal lines (CANH and CANL). When the information is not sent from all nodes through the F-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from all nodes is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the motor control module (MCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
