Invalid Data Received From Powertrain Control Monitor Module
AI status

Completed
100%
Causes
- Corrupted or malformed CAN messages from PCMM
- Faulty Powertrain Control Monitor Module (PCMM)
- Faulty receiving module (PCM/ECM) interpreting data incorrectly
- Open, short, or high-resistance connection in CAN wiring or connectors
- Missing or incorrect module programming / software mismatch after replacement or update
- Low battery voltage, voltage spikes, or poor ground affecting message integrity
Symptoms
- MIL (Check Engine) or network warning lamp illuminated
- Multiple related DTCs present from other control modules
- Loss of certain powertrain-related data on scan tool (missing or nonsense values)
- Intermittent drivability anomalies if critical data is affected
- Modules failing to communicate or respond to diagnostic tool
What to check
- Read U0595 details and all related DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules with a capable scan tool
- Check vehicle history for recent module replacement, programming, or repairs
- Visually inspect CAN high/low wiring, connectors, and pin condition at PCMM, PCM, gateways, and junction points
- Verify battery voltage (12.4–12.9 V at rest) and charging system; check for voltage drops during cranking
- Check and measure CAN termination resistance (approx. 60 ohms across CANH–CANL with both terminators present)
- Use a scan tool or oscilloscope to monitor CAN traffic for malformed frames, error flags, or missing messages
Signal parameters
- High-speed CAN typical idle voltages: CANH ~2.5 V, CANL ~2.5 V; dominant state: CANH ≈ 3.5 V, CANL ≈ 1.5 V
- Termination: two 120 Ω resistors (≈60 Ω measured across CANH–CANL at a single point)
- Typical bus speeds: 250 kbps or 500 kbps (verify vehicle specification)
- Expected message frequency and specific CAN IDs for PCMM data (verify with OEM wiring/service info)
- Battery voltage: stable 12–14.5 V during normal operation; large fluctuations can corrupt data
Diagnostic algorithm
- Capture all active and pending DTCs from every networked module; note freeze frame data and occurrence conditions.
- Attempt to clear codes and re-test to see if U0595 returns or is intermittent.
- Check battery state-of-charge and charging system; repair low-voltage issues first.
- Visually inspect PCMM and gateway/PCM connectors and harnesses for damage, corrosion, or water entry; repair as needed.
- Measure CANH–CANL resistance with ignition off (expect ≈60 Ω). If open or shorted, isolate wiring sections and locate fault.
- Use a scan tool to observe live data from PCMM and receiving modules; look for missing or obviously incorrect values.
- Monitor CAN bus with an oscilloscope while replicating the fault to identify malformed frames, error bursts, or signal noise.
- Disconnect or isolate suspected modules (PCMM or gateway) one at a time per OEM procedures to see if messages normalize.
- Check for recent module replacement or software updates; verify correct part number and reflash/program to latest OEM calibration if required.
- Inspect/replace damaged connectors or harness sections; ensure proper grounding and battery connections.
- If testing isolates the fault to the PCMM and wiring is good, replace or repair the PCMM per OEM procedures and reprogram as required.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform full network communications check and a road test to confirm the issue is resolved.
Likely causes
- Damaged CAN wiring or corroded connector at PCMM or gateway module
- Unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed replacement PCMM
- Intermittent ground or low battery causing malformed frames
- Failed PCMM transmitting corrupted data
Fault status
Status
