PINPOINT TEST F: DTC U012D, U042E

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The charging system supplies voltage to the battery and the vehicle electrical system through the battery B+ cable. The PCM monitors the generator output through a LIN communication circuit shared with the automatic grill shutters (AGS). The PCM uses this LIN circuit to communicate the desired voltage setpoint to the generator internal voltage regulator. The generator also uses this to communicate the generator load and error conditions to the PCM .

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
PCM U012D:00 Lost Communication With Generator 'A' Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets if the PCM does not detect communication through the LIN circuit. This can be a result of an open or short in the LIN circuit. This DTC also sets if the generator B+ circuit is open.
PCM U042E:00 Invalid Data Received From Generator 'A' Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets when the PCM receives invalid data from the generator.

Possible Sources

  • Active grille shutters
  • Battery monitoring sensor
  • Generator
  • PCM
  • Wiring, terminals or connectors

Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

  • Inspect high current BJB for loose, damaged or corroded connections.
  • Inspect the BJB fuse F5 (275A).
  • Inspect the FEAD belt.

NOTE: Make sure battery voltage is greater than 12.2 volts prior to and during this pinpoint test.

NOTE: Do not have a battery charger attached during vehicle testing.
