Causes
- Open or shorted wiring between CCM and vehicle data bus
- Poor or missing power or ground to the CCM
- Faulty CCM or internal failure
- Missing or damaged CAN termination or bus wiring
- Intermittent connector contact or corrosion
- Other module causing bus errors or overwhelming the CAN bus
Symptoms
- Chassis/ABS/traction/stability functions disabled or limited
- Dash warning lamps: ABS, Traction Control, Stability, or general Chassis warnings
- Messages such as “Service Chassis System” or “Communication Fault”
- Loss of some networked features or inability to communicate with the CCM using a scan tool
- Intermittent or permanent driveability or braking system faults depending on system architecture
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs on all modules — note U- and C-codes and freeze-frame data
- Attempt to communicate with CCM using scan tool; verify module presence and response
- Check battery voltage (engine off and cranking) and inspect fuses/relays supplying CCM
- Visually inspect CCM connector for corrosion, bent pins, contamination, or water intrusion
- Inspect CAN bus wiring harness for physical damage, chafing, or repairs
- Measure CAN bus termination resistance (~60 ohms between CAN_H and CAN_L at key connectors)
Signal parameters
- CAN bus idle voltages: CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V (recessive)
- CAN dominant state: CAN_H ≈ 3.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 1.5 V (typical)
- Differential voltage when dominant ≈ 2.0 V
- Termination resistance: ~60 ohms between CAN_H and CAN_L (two 120 Ω resistors in parallel)
- Module supply voltage: battery voltage ~11–14 V with ignition on
- Ground continuity: chassis ground to module should be low resistance (
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record all DTCs, freeze-frame, and ECU responses from all modules. Note related U-codes or repeated network errors.
- Attempt to communicate with the CCM using a known-good scan tool. Confirm whether the module responds, its serial number, and software version if available.
- Verify battery voltage and charging system; inspect and test fuses/relays that supply CCM power. Repair any supply issues.
- Visually inspect CCM connector and wiring. Disconnect connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent pins, pushed-out terminals, or moisture. Re-seat connector.
- Check ground integrity: measure voltage drop between CCM ground and chassis while cranking and under load; repair poor grounds.
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L at the CCM connector with a multimeter/oscilloscope. Confirm idle voltages (~2.5 V) and differential behavior when network active. Look for shorts to GND or B+.
- Measure termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L near network ends (~60 Ω). If incorrect, inspect for missing termination or additional unintended terminations.
- If the bus shows noise or errors, use an oscilloscope to capture frames and identify a noisy node. Disconnect suspect modules one at a time (if safe) to isolate the fault.
- Repair or replace damaged wiring, connectors, or terminals. After repairs, clear codes and test-drive to confirm fault does not return.
- If wiring and power/ground are good and the module still does not communicate, consider software update/reprogramming or replacement of the CCM and verify correct programming and configuration after replacement.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or low battery/poor battery connection to CCM
- Loose, corroded or unplugged connector at CCM
- Damaged CAN_H/CAN_L wiring or short to battery/ground
- Failed CCM (internal electronic fault)
- Fault on another module placing noise/errors on the CAN bus
Fault status
Status
Chassis Control Module communication failure — module not responding or CAN bus messages missing/corrupted.

Diagnostic time: 1.0 - 3.0 hours
