DTC U1016 Loss Of Communications With PCM:




CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Class II Serial Data Circuit is used communicate between systems. Each system connected to the Class II Serial Data line is assigned its own recognition code (address). This code is used to identify which module or systems are communicating. The Node Alive or State of Health (SOH) messages are broadcast on the bus every 2 seconds. If a module is monitoring Node Alive messages for that module, it will reset its 5 second timer for that particular module. Any system that communicate properly will also store the appropriate communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that are assigned to the system(s) it could not communicate with.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
All of the following conditions must be met:
^ Ignition is active.
^ Communication between the PasslockTM Module and the PCM was present for at least 1 second, then lost for more than 5 seconds (usually due to intermittent connection).
^ The PCM has not received a valid state of health message from the PasslockTM Module.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ Stores Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U1016 in the PasslockTM Module memory.
^ If the ignition was OFF at the time, the vehicle will not start.
^ If the engine was running at the time the vehicle will start again but the SECURITY indicator will remain illuminated.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PasslockTM Module continuously monitors the signal and moves the DTC from the current to history on the next ignition cycle when the condition causing the fault no longer exists.
^ All of the PasslockTM Module history codes will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to RUN) with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles.
^ Using a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ When the diagnostics direct you to take electrical measurement at the Wiring Harness Junction Blocks, refer to Diagrams for terminal assignments of the Wiring Harness Junction Blocks.
^ If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Try performing the tests shown while wiggling wiring and connectors, this can often cause the malfunction to appear.

TEST DESCRIPTION
1. The Data Link Communications System Check should be performed before any diagnostics are performed in the system.
2. This step is to determine it communications through CKT 1807 (PPL) are good.
3. This step is to determine if CKT 1807 (PPL) is at fault or if the problem is within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
6. This step is to check CKT 1807 (PPL) and the Transfer Case Shift Control Module for circuit connections.
7. This step is to check CKT 1807 (PPL) and the EVO/PasslockTM Module for circuit connections.
8. This step is to determine if CKT 1807 (PPL) is at fault or if the problem is within the Transfer Case Shift Control Module.
11. This step is to determine if CKT 1807 (PPL) is at fault or if the problem is within the EVO/PasslockTM Module.
