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.
Fault Management On The Most Network: Notes
The MOST network is monitored by the infotainment control module (ICM). If it detects a fault in the MOST network, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the infotainment control module (ICM). There are different types of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) depending on the type of fault. A general rule is that if the light pulse in the MOST network disappears, the entire network stops working.
Fault types which are processed are:
- no communication from a control module
- faulty communication on the MOST network.
