Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P16D6: IMA-CAN Malfunction (Internal Malfunction)






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 CVT CPU via the IMA-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from the CVT CPU is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
