  U129E F-CAN Malfunction (PCM-Power Control Unit (PCU))

  Is DTC U129E indicated?

  YES 

  The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

  NO 

  Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the keyless access control unit and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

• 2. Keyless access system check:

  - 1. Check for communication to the keyless access system with the HDS.

  Does the HDS communicate with the keyless access system?

  YES 

  Go to step 3.

  NO 

  Go to the symptom troubleshooting for keyless access indicator does not go off or does not come on .

• 3. Open wire check (F-CAN_H line):

  - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

  - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

  - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

  PCM connector A (51P)

  Keyless access control unit connector C (24P)

  - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
  	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
  	Keyless access control unit connector C (24P): disconnected
  Test point 1	Keyless access control unit connector C (24P) No. 4
  Test point 2	PCM connector A (51P) No. 2

  Is there continuity?

  YES 

  The F-CAN_H wire is OK. Go to step 4.

  NO 

  Repair an open in the F-CAN_H wire between the PCM (A2) and the keyless access control unit.

• 4. Open wire check (F-CAN_L line):

  - 1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
  	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
  	Keyless access control unit connector C (24P): disconnected
  Test point 1	Keyless access control unit connector C (24P) No. 5
  Test point 2	PCM connector A (51P) No. 1

  Is there continuity?

  YES 

  The F-CAN_L wire is OK. Substitute a known-good keyless access control unit , then recheck. If DTC U129E is not indicated after the keyless access control unit was substituted, replace the original keyless access control unit .

  NO 

  Repair an open in the F-CAN_L wire between the PCM (A1) and the keyless access control unit.
