What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module (ECM) has not received the global time signal from the central electronic module (CEM) on the CAN network. The code is set when the signal is missing, because the ECM then interprets it as a fault. The fault may lie in the CAN network cables or in a control module on the same part of the network.
Possible causes
- Open circuit in one of the CAN cables
- Short-circuit between the CAN cables
- Internal fault in the ECM
- Internal fault in another control module on the same part of the CAN network
What you can do
- 1Read all fault codes in the engine control module. CAN communication codes should be investigated first, as they may be the cause of this code.
- 2Check that the connectors in the CAN network are secure and clean. Gently wiggle cables and connectors to see whether the fault appears.
- 3Have a workshop with diagnostic equipment take measurements in the CAN network, as the fault-finding requires measuring.
- 4Do not replace the central electronic module (CEM) for a CAN fault until a workshop has confirmed that it has an internal fault.
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
