DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INFORMATION TRM-E001

Condition

The control modules transmit and receive information via a standardized serial communication method - CAN (Control Area Network). The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module registers serious interference in the low speed sector of the CAN network (CAN communication blocked).

Note. In the event of system communication problems, it is not possible to communicate with the control module. Therefore it will only be possible to read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if the fault is intermittent.

Substitute Value

  1. The control module shuts itself off ("bus-off").

HINT: The control module will remain shut off until the power supply is broken (15, 30, X). When the power supply is connected the control module will make a new attempt to communicate.

Possible Source

  1. Short-circuit between the control area network (CAN) wiring
  2. Open-circuit in the control area network (CAN) wiring
  3. Internal fault in the control module
  4. Internal fault in another control module in the same part of the control area network (CAN).

Fault symptom[s]

  1. Faulty function of trailer lamps.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INFORMATION TRM-E003

Condition

The trailer module (TRM) compares its configuration ID with the signal configuration transmitted on the control area network (CAN) by the central electronic module (CEM). If the configuration IDs do not correspond the fault code is stored. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is also stored if the communication between the trailer module (TRM) and the central electronic module (CEM) is interrupted.

Note. In the event of an open-circuit in both the control area network (CAN) cables, it is not possible to communicate with the trailer module (TRM). Therefore it will only be possible to read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if this type of fault is intermittent. When the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored, the trailer module (TRM) responds to the diagnostic command, however normal control area network (CAN) communication does not work. ("Expulsion mode")

Substitute Value

  1. None.

Possible Source

  1. Incorrect CAN configuration ID (the node is not intended for this car, for example a used control module with other software/hardware)
  2. Open-circuit in the control area network (CAN) wiring between the trailer module (TRM) and the central electrical module (CEM).

Fault symptom[s]

  1. Faulty function of trailer lamps.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INFORMATION TRM-E010

Condition

The trailer module (TRM) compares the battery voltage to the trailer module (TRM) with the battery voltage to the central electronic module (CEM).

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the battery voltage to the central electronic module (CEM) is significantly higher than the battery voltage to the trailer module (TRM).

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that

  1. The system voltage differs by more than 2.0 V.

Starting the control module's CAN communication.

Substitute Value

  1. None.

Possible Source

  1. Short-circuit to ground in the power supply cable.
  2. Contact resistance or oxidation in the terminals.
  3. Damaged generator (GEN).
  4. Damaged battery.

Fault symptom[s]

  1. Trailer lighting/Does not work

READING OFF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC)

  1. Switch on the ignition. Wait for 10 seconds. Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is stored in the car. Make a note of the code. Report the code to VIDA customer support.
