Condition 2: Upon rechecking for codes, the technician may find one or more DTCs (U0074, U0077, U180D, U0293, U0126, U0125, C0186 and/or C0196. These DTCs will not clear.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- For learning SAS, check for diagnostic package updates for GDS. Think of this just like the Tech 2 versions needing periodic updates.
- Upon checking for codes, you may find the afore-mentioned U and C codes are set, and will not clear after diagnosing the chassis bus, and the cause of the fault is not found. TAC has been involved with a few TAC cases and found the cause to be a MDI cable-to-DLC issue. Try a different MDI cable and perform the SAS learn following the published service information and clear the communication codes.
