U0121-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE
For a complete wiring diagramrefer to the Wiring Information Electrical Diagrams.
- When Monitored:
Ignition run time is greater than 1 second. Battery voltage between 9 and 16 volts. Engine run time greater than 3 seconds.
- Set Condition:
The PCM doesn't receive an ABS message over the CAN C circuit for 7 consecutive seconds. The circuit is continuously monitored. One trip fault.
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, you must thoroughly read and follow all High Voltage Safety procedures. In addition, before performing any diagnostic or service procedure near a high voltage component, you must perform the High Voltage Power Down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
1. VERIFY THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS ACTIVE
