DTC U1204 (55): IMA-CAN Malfunction (Powertrain Control Module (PCM)- Battery Condition Monitor (BCM) Module): General Description

The integrated motor assist-controller area network (IMA-CAN) uses two signal lines, IMACANH and IMACANL, and it receives and transmits multiple signals simultaneously to/from multiple control modules.

When the information is not sent from the powertrain control module (PCM) through the IMA-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time or when the information sent from the PCM is abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, the battery condition monitor (BCM) module detects a malfunction and when BUS-OFF is not detected after the time to detect BUS-OFF has passed, a DTC is stored.
