Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM), electronic brake control module (EBCM) if applicable, fuel injector control module (FICM) if applicable, and transmission control module (TCM) if applicable, communicate via a controller area network (CAN) serial data bus. Modules connected to the CAN serial data circuits monitor communications. During normal vehicle operation, information and commands are exchanged among modules. If the ECM fails to receive an expected message from one of the other modules, DTC U1800, U2105, U2106, or U2108 will set; depending on what communication is lost. If no communication is detected on the CAN serial data bus, a DTC U2100 or U2104 is set. A no communication condition may result from a short to voltage, short to ground, or short between the CAN high and low circuits.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC U2100 Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus Communication
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is in the RUN position. |
| • | The module supply voltage is in the normal operating range of 9-16 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | A no communication condition is detected on CAN serial data circuits for at least 125 milliseconds. |
| • | DTC B1365 is not current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination depends on DTC type. For a detailed description about DTCs types refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Types for the 6.6L (LLY) engine. For information about DTC type definitions refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for the 6.6L (LLY) engine. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
MIL or DTC clearing depends on DTC type. For a detailed description about DTCs types refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Types for the 6.6L (LLY) engine. For information about DTC type definitions refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for the 6.6L (LLY) engine.
| • | DTC Type C |
| • | A current DTC and MIL clear when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
The modules communicating on the CAN serial data circuits are wired parallel to each other until the respective circuits are spliced together outside of the ECM. An open in the CAN circuits for one module will not affect other modules. A short to ground or short to voltage affects all modules no matter where the failure occurs. When communication on the CAN circuits resumes, the code will no longer be current.

Does the DTC fail this ignition? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections |
2 |
Important: Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF, when testing for a short to voltage. Use DMM MIN/MAX function to compare intermittent conditions.
Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 3 |
|
Important: If the vehicle is not equipped with an FICM, answer YES to this step.
Does the frequency measure more than the specified value? | 35,000 Hz | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 7 | |
4 |
Important: If the vehicle is not equipped with a TCM, answer YES to this step.
Does the frequency measure more than the specified value? | 35,000 Hz | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 8 |
5 |
Important: If the vehicle is not equipped with an EBCM, answer YES to this step.
Does the frequency measure more than the specified value? | 35,000 Hz | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 9 |
6 | Inspect for an intermittent or poor connection at the ECM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 10 |
7 | Inspect for an intermittent or poor connection at the FICM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 11 |
8 | Inspect for an intermittent or poor connection at the TCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 12 |
9 | Inspect for an intermittent or poor connection at the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 13 |
10 | Replace the ECM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 14 | -- |
11 | Replace the FICM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 14 | -- |
12 | Replace the TCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 14 | -- |
13 | Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 14 | -- |
14 |
Did the DTC fail this ignition? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Step 15 |
15 | Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? | -- | System OK | |
