Lost Communication with ECM / PCM "A" (U0100)
DESCRIPTION
The power management control ECU receives shift position information from 2 sources.
It receives a shift position P signal from the shift lock control unit assembly
via a direct line, and shift position information from the ECM via CAN. If the ...
