Pinpoint Test Cl: Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) Module Communication Concern With APIM (Sync Module): Notes

Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the APIM sends messages to the GWM over the HS-CAN3, the GWM relays these messages to the ABS module over the FD-CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the specified time frame, the ABS module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to a APIM failure, a circuit failure on the CAN or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the APIM, REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
ABS U0253:00 Lost Communication With Accessory Protocol Interface Module: No Sub Type Information Sets if the APIM messages are missing.
