Advanced Diagnostics - DTC U1207: IMA-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-A/C Compressor Driver) (PGM-FI System)






General Description
The integrated motor assist-controller area network (IMA-CAN) uses two signal lines, IMACANH and IMACANL, and it receives and transmits multiple signals simultaneously to/from multiple control modules. When the information is not sent from the A/C compressor driver via the IMA-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from the A/C compressor driver is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
