Datalink Circuit – Control
|
Overview
CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
Fault Code: 411 PID: S249 SPN: FMI: 3 LAMP: Yellow SRT: 00-608 |
Data transmission error on control datalink pins 10 and 20 of sensor harness. |
Control device possibly does not work properly. |
Control Datalink Circuit |
|
Circuit Description
The purpose of the control datalink is to allow the ECM to communicate to the vehicle control-operated systems such as the transmission controllers, antilock brake system, etc.
Component Location
The control datalink circuit is located in the sensor wiring harness.
Shop Talk
Possible causes for this fault code include electromagnetic induction or radio noise (citizens band radio or linear amplifier), supply wire short to chassis ground, electromagnetic induction from control devices on the circuit, supply wire is on (also connectors), electromagnetic induction because of poor or no ECM grounding, return wire short to chassis ground, datalink wires (+, -) shorted together, reversed wires, supply wire is shorted to other wires, improper voltage on the datalink wires, and moisture is in the sensor port shorting circuit.
Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following test leads when taking measurement: |
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of damaging the new ECM, all other active fault codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM. |
Troubleshooting Steps
STEPS | SPECIFICATIONS | |
---|---|---|
STEP 1. | Check vehicle items. | |
STEP 1A. Check for possible sources of interference. | Fault Code 411 active | |
STEP 1B. Inspect 2-pin control datalink connector on both sensor side and harness side. | No damaged pins | |
STEP 1C. Check for any control devices connected to control data link. | Fault Code 411 active | |
STEP 2. | Check sensor harness and ECM. | |
STEP 2A. Check for reversed wires. | Pin A: 4 to 5 VDC, Pin B: 0 to 1 VDC | |
STEP 2A-1. Inspect the sensor harness and the ECM connector pins. | ||
STEP 2A-2. Check voltage at ECM receptacle. | ||
STEP 2B. Inspect the sensor harness and the ECM connector pins. | No damaged pins | |
STEP 2C. Check for short circuit between control data link circuit and any other wires in sensor harness. | More than 100k ohms | |
STEP 2D. Check for short circuit to ground. | More than 100k ohms | |
STEP 3. | Clear the fault codes. | |
STEP 3A. Disable the fault code. | Fault Code 411 inactive | |
STEP 3B. Clear the inactive fault codes. | All fault codes cleared |
