IMA System

Advanced Diagnostics - DTC U0155 (106): F-CAN Malfunction (Gauge Control Module-Battery Condition Monitor (BCM) Module)






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 the gauge control module through the F-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from the gauge control module is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the battery condition monitor (BCM) module detects a malfunction and when BUS-OFF is not detected after the time to detect BUS-OFF has passed, a DTC is stored.
