DTC U3000: Control Module: Description

2015 Lincoln MKS Base, AWDSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PSCM is self monitoring and performs self-tests at specific intervals (initial power up, power down, during normal operation, etc.). Each self-test requires the voltage supply to the PSCM to be at or above a specific level (above 6 volts, above 9 volts, between 10 and 17 volts, etc.) for the test to take place. If one or more of the self-tests should fail, the module sets one or more DTCs.

  • DTC U3000:41 (Control Module: General Checksum Failure) - If at any time during normal operation the module detects an internal software error with more than 6 volts supplied to the PSCM, DTC U3000:41 is set.
  • DTC U3000:46 (Control Module: Calibration/Parameter Memory Failure) - At any time during normal operation with more than 6 volts supplied to the PSCM the module determines one or more calibration files are missing or they are corrupt or the incorrect EPAS gear is installed on the vehicle, DTC U3000:46 is set.
  • DTC U3000:49 (Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure) - If at any time during normal operation with more than 6 volts supplied to the PSCM, the module detects a software or internal hardware error, DTC U3000:49 is set.
  • DTC U3000:61 (Control Module Signal Calculation Failure) - If the PSCM detects a faulty assist torque calculation due to a software failure in the module, DTC U3000:61 is set.
  • DTC U3000:72 (Control Module Actuator Stuck Open) - During initial power up with voltage greater than 9 volts, the PSCM checks the internal relay for voltage. If voltage is not present the module makes several attempts to close the relay. If the voltage remains undetected after this test period, DTC U3000:72 is set.
  • DTC U3000:96 (Control Module: Component Internal Failure) - This DTC is set if there is an internal failure of the PSCM due to temperature, power supply or if multiple failures have occurred over a short period of time.
