U110A-00-LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH SCM - CAN-C
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Active Damping Control Module (ADCM) communicates with other controllers over the CAN C
bus. The ADCM continuously monitors the bus activity and receives the messages it needs. If the
ADCM does not receive messages from the SAS, then this fault will set.
WHEN MONITORED:
Ignition on for more than 5 seconds and battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.
SET CONDITION:
The Active Damping Control Module (ADCM) no longer detects any messaging from the Steering
Angle Sensor (SAS) for more than 0.5 of a second after monitoring conditions have been fulfilled.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Possible Causes
DTCS RELATED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE, IGNITION, OR VIN MESSAGES
CAN C BUS CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (SAS)
ACTIVE DAMPING CONTROL MODULE (ADCM)
MODULE THAT SET THIS DTC

2. With the scan tool, read and record ADCM DTCs.
3. With the scan tool, erase ADCM DTCs.
4. Cycle the ignition switch.
5. With the scan tool, read ADCM DTCs.
Is the DTC active at this time?
Yes
Go To 2.
No
Perform the Stored Lost Communication diagnostic procedure. Refer to
COMMUNICATION - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
2. CHECK FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIVE DTCS
1. With the scan tool, read all active DTCs from all CAN C Bus modules.
NOTE: Check for CAN C hardware electrical, VIN Missing/Mismatch, battery
or ignition related DTCs.
Does the scan tool display any active DTCs related to the conditions listed above?
Yes
Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to the appropriate Electrical Diagnostic
Information.
No
Go To 3.
3. VERIFY THAT THE SAS IS ACTIVE ON THE BUS
1. With the scan tool, select ECU View.
2. Verify that the SAS is active on the bus.
Is the SCM active on the bus?
cardiagn.com
Yes
Go To 4.
No
Perform the Stored Lost Communication diagnostic procedure. Refer to
COMMUNICATION - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
4. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION RELATED DTCs
1. With the scan tool, select Network View and select Advanced.
Is there more than one module with active DTCs "Logged Against" the SAS?
Yes
Replace the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) in accordance with the
service information. Refer to MODULE, STEERING COLUMN, REMOVAL .
No
Replace the Active Damping Control Module (ADCM) in accordance with the Service
Information. Refer to MODULE, ACTIVE DAMPING CONTROL, REMOVAL .
Perform the ADCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ADCM VERIFICATION TEST.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
ADCM VERIFICATION TEST
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
1. ADCM VERIFICATION TEST
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
3. Verify all accessories are turned off and the battery is fully charged.
4. Verify that the ignition is on, with the scan tool, erase all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
from All modules. Start the engine and allow it to run for two minutes and fully operate the
system that was indicating the failure.
5. Turn the ignition off and wait five seconds. Turn the ignition on and using the scan tool,
read DTCs from all modules.
6. If any Diagnostic Trouble Codes are present, Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and
perform the diagnostic procedure.
7. If there are no DTCs present after turning ignition on, road test the vehicle for at least five
minutes.
cardiagn.com
Test drive the vehicle by turning the vehicle left or right in a curving manner at a
speed above 25 km/h (15 mph).
8. Again, with the scan tool read DTCs. If any DTCs are present, Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING for the diagnostic procedure and troubleshoot the new or recurring DTC.
9. If there are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present, and the customer's concern can
no longer be duplicated, the repair is complete.
Are any DTCs present or is the original concern still present?
Yes
Repair is not complete, perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to
