PINPOINT TEST X : U0028:08 and U0028:88: Notes

Diagnostic Overview 

U0028:08 and U0028:88 

Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The RCM supplies the stability/traction control system with the yaw rate, roll rate, lateral and longitudinal accelerometer over a dedicated CAN. If the RCM detects a fault with communications with the ABS module or dedicated CAN circuits, it sets DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88.

The RCM does not request the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator if either DTC U0028:08 or U0028:88 is set.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
U0028:08 Vehicle Communication Bus A: Bus Signal / Message Failures A fault is indicated when the RCM does not receive dedicated CAN messages from the ABS module for 5 seconds. An open dedicated CAN circuit, incorrectly installed ABS module or loss of power and/or ground to the ABS module can set this DTC.
U0028:88 Vehicle Communication Bus A: Bus Off A fault is indicated when the RCM detects the dedicated CAN circuits are shorted to ground, shorted to voltage or shorted to each other.
