Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .

With the ignition ON, the GWM sends messages to the ABS module over the FD-CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within a certain time frame (usually less than 1 second), the ABS module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to a GWM failure, a circuit failure on the FD-CAN or an excessive load on the network.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
ABS U0146:00 Lost Communication With Serial Data Gateway "A": No Sub Type Information This DTC sets in the ABS module if the IPC messages from the GWM are missing for more than 5 seconds.
