Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
DTC U0155: F-CAN Malfunction (Gauge Control Module-Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM)): General Description
The controller area network (CAN) transmits/receives pulsing signals to/from the control modules simultaneously by using two signal lines (CANH and CANL).
When the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive the signals from the gauge control module via the CAN lines for more than a set time, the ECM/PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.
