u010c lost communication with turbocharger supercharger control module a
OBD2 Code: U010C
Description: Lost Communication With Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module A
Definition: This code indicates that the vehicle’s main computer (PCM) has lost communication with the turbocharger/supercharger control module. The PCM uses this communication to monitor and control the performance of the turbo or supercharger system.
Typical Severity: Critical
Common Causes
Common causes of the OBD2 code u010c include:
- Defective turbocharger/supercharger control module
- Wiring issues such as damaged wires or poor connections
- Faulty powertrain control module (PCM)
- Interference from other electronic devices
Common Misdiagnosis
Common Misdiagnosis: Faulty turbocharger/supercharger control module is often misdiagnosed when the issue may actually be due to wiring problems, poor connections, or a faulty CAN bus.
Common Diagnostic Steps
OBD2 Code: U010C
Description: Lost Communication with Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module A
- Check for any other stored codes that might indicate a related issue.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module for damage or corrosion.
- Verify that the Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module is receiving power and ground signals.
- Test the communication lines (CAN bus) for continuity and proper voltage levels.
- If equipped, use a scan tool to check for module-specific fault codes in the Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module.
- Perform a visual inspection of the turbo/supercharger system components for obvious signs of failure or disconnection.
- If necessary, update or reprogram the ECM software to ensure compatibility with all modules.
- If all else fails, consider replacing the Turbocharger/Supercharger Control Module after confirming it is faulty through testing procedures.
