DTC Advanced Diagnostics: U129E
DTC U129E:F-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-Power Control Unit (PCU))

General Description
Without multipurpose camera unit

With multipurpose camera unit

The controller area network (CAN) transmits/receives pulsing signals to/from the control modules simultaneously by using two signal lines (F-CAN_H and F-CAN_L). When the powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive the signals from the keyless access control unit via the F-CAN lines for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
Keyless access control unit failure (include fuse fall-outs)
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_H*1/F-CAN A_H*2 line open
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_L*1/F-CAN A_L*2 line open
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_H*1/F-CAN A_H*2 line short to ground
F-CAN circuit F-CAN_L*1/F-CAN A_L*2 line short to ground
PCM internal circuit failure

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
