What does this fault code mean?
The transmission control module does not get the speed signal from the brake control module (BCM) that it needs on the CAN network. The cause is either an internal fault in the brake control module or a fault on the CAN network.
Possible causes
- Internal fault in the brake control module (BCM)
- Fault on the CAN network
What you can do
- 1Start by reading the fault codes in the CEM and other affected control modules, and fix them. Do not clear TCM-0A02 until they are fixed and cleared
- 2Have a workshop trace the CAN network with diagnostic equipment
- 3The brake system is safety-critical. If you suspect a fault in it, have a workshop check it
