DTC Troubleshooting: U0029
DTC U0029:
 F-CAN Communication Line Error
NOTE: Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it does not, go to DLC Circuit Troubleshooting:
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then back to ON (II).
  1. Wait for 6 seconds or more.
  1. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0029 indicated?
YES -
Go to Step 5 .
NO -
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections, or worn/shorted wires. If the connections are good, check the battery condition and the charging system.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect the appropriate connector at each control unit in the table one at a time. Clear the DTC, then recheck for DTCs after each unit is disconnected.

Is DTC U0029 indicated with each individual unit disconnected?
YES -
Go to Step 7 .
NO -
Replace the control unit that was disconnected when DTC U0029 is not reset.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect each control unit connectors in the table.

  1. Disconnect the HDS from the data link connector.
  1. Check for continuity between body ground and the gauge control module 32P connector No. 21 and No. 22 terminals individually.
Is there continuity?
YES -
A short to ground in the wire.■
NO -
Go to Step 11 .
  1. Check for continuity between the gauge control module 32P connector No. 21 and No. 22 terminals.
Is there continuity?
YES -
A short in the F-CAN wires.■
NO -
Replace the gauge control module .■
