DTC U0107: Lost Communication With Throttle Actuator Control Module




General Description
The engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) uses the serial signal line for two-way communication with the throttle actuator control module.

The ECM/PCM transmits the accelerator pedal position signal to the throttle actuator module, and the throttle actuator control module transmits the actual throttle valve position signal, or a malfunction signal, etc., to the ECM/PCM via this line.

When no serial signals from the throttle actuator control module are received or the serial signals are abnormal for more than a set time, the ECM/PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.

Enable Conditions

Malfunction Threshold
One of these conditions mentioned below must be met for at least 0.25 second.

- No serial signals from the throttle actuator control module are detected.
- The serial signals from the throttle actuator control module are abnormal.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the ECM/PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL
The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
