Pinpoint Test CJ: PSCM (Power Steering Control Module) DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U0403:00 Invalid Data Received From Transfer Case Control Module
Refer to POWER STEERING CONTROLS for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
REFER to: Power Steering - System Operation and Component Description .
Description
- The PSCM monitors the HS-CAN messages when the voltage to the PSCM is greater than 10 volts and there are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present inhibiting PSCM operation.
Pinpoint Test Applicability
- This test applies to PSCM DTC U0403 Invalid Data Received from the TCCM only. It does not apply to any other module except the PSCM.
DTC Diagnostic Strategy
- If the module DTC list results in a large number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), diagnose all module hard faults first (C102D, C1B00, C200B, C200C, C200D, U2011 and U3000) before diagnosing any network faults (lost communication or invalid data). If voltage concern Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present, diagnose those after any module hard faults and before any network faults. Diagnose all current and active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) before diagnosing any historic Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Pinpoint Test Purpose
- To direct the diagnosis to the module and associated circuit sending the faulty or unknown information in the messages.
Diagnostic Aids
- For additional information on the messages sent to the PSCM from the TCCM module, refer to the Network Message List in this information.
- DTC U0403:00 indicates a concern with the TCCM. The module reporting this DTC is not the problem module. Do not install a new PSCM as part of the repair for PSCM DTC U0403:00.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|---|
| PSCM U0403:00 | Invalid Data Received From Transfer Case Control Module: No Sub Type Information | This DTC is set if the PSCM receives an "fault" or "unknown" message from the TCCM instead of valid sensor information. |
Possible Sources
- HS-CAN concern
- One or more steering components installed incorrectly
- TCCM concern
Visual Inspection and Pre-checks
- This DTC sets when the PSCM does not receive the TCCM messages within a certain time frame. This can occur if the TCCM wiring harness or electrical connectors are loose or damaged, or if the vehicle battery state of charge levels are low. Consult the DTC Index for additional information if needed.
- Refer to Steering GSB for additional connector and wiring inspection tips.
