DTC U210C: Lost Communication Between Fuel Pump Control Module B And Restraints Control Module

2013 Ford Expedition EL King Ranch, RWDSECTION DTC U210C: Lost Communication Between Fuel Pump Control Module B And Restraints Control Module
DTC U210C: LOST COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE B AND RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE

Description:  The fuel pump control module 2 monitors the duty cycle and frequency of the signal it receives from the restraints control module (RCM). The fuel pump control module 2 determines if the signal on the event notification signal (ENS) circuit from the RCM is a valid duty cycle and frequency. If the duty cycle or frequency is invalid, the fuel pump control module 2 sends a 40% duty cycle signal on the fuel pump monitor 2 (FPM2) circuit to report the concern to the PCM. The test fails when the fuel pump control module 2 is still reporting that it is receiving an invalid duty cycle or frequency from the RCM after a calibrated amount of time.
Possible Causes: 
  • ENS circuit open or short to ground
  • ENS circuit short to voltage
  • Radio frequency interference or electromagnetic interference
  • Damaged fuel pump control module 2
  • Damaged RCM
Diagnostic Aids:  Check the harness for routing, alterations, incorrect shielding, or electrical interference from other systems. The ENS is used to notify the fuel pump control module 2 of an event requiring the fuel pump to be disabled. This signal is used instead of an inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch. The fuel pump control module 2 monitors the ENS signal by sending a 12V low current signal on the ENS circuit to the RCM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
