DTC Descriptors

DTC P064A

Fuel Pump Control Module Performance

DTC P1255

Fuel Pump Control Module Driver High Temperature

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the chassis control module when the ECM detects that the ignition is on. The voltage from the ECM to the chassis control module remains active for 2 seconds, unless the engine is in crank or run. While this voltage is being received, the chassis control module supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump module in order to maintain the desired fuel pressure.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The chassis control module detects an over-temperature fault.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P064A and P1255 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P064A and P1255 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Failure Records can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.

Beginning in the 2014 model year the K27 Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) will now be called the chassis control module (CCM). The component code for the chassis control module will be K38. The chassis control module name will be used in Service Information, the Global Diagnostic System and the Service Programming System.

  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provide an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P1400

Cold Start Emission Reduction Control System

Circuit/System Description

The catalyst must be warmed to efficiently reduce the emissions. The cold start strategy is to reduce the amount of time it takes to warm the catalyst. During a cold start, the engine idle speed is elevated and spark timing is retarded to allow the catalyst to warm quickly. This diagnostic monitors the following to build an exhaust energy model:

  • Engine speed
  • Spark advance
  • Throttle position
  • Engine airflow
  • Engine coolant temperature
  • Engine run time
  • Park/neutral position
  • Vehicle speed

The actual model is then compared to the expected exhaust energy model.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0114, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0335, P0336, P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0502, P0503, P0506, P0507, P0641, P0651, P0697, P06A3, P0806, P0807, P080A, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128, P2135, P2138, and P2544 are not set.
  • The engine is idling less than 30 s.
  • The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is greater than -10ºC (14ºF).
  • The calculated 3-way catalyst temperature is less than 350ºC (662ºF).
  • The ECM will exit the diagnostic if the calculated 3-way catalyst temperature is greater than 420ºC (788º F) when the engine run time is greater than 30 s.
  • The ECM will exit the diagnostic if the engine run time is greater than 90 s.
  • The vehicle speed is less than 2 km/h (1 MPH).
  • The engine is at idle with no input from the accelerator pedal.

This DTC runs within the first 90 s of start-up. This diagnostic runs once per trip when a cold start has been determined.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The actual exhaust energy model does not match the expected exhaust energy model.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P1400 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1400 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition OFF, allow the engine to cool.
  2. Engine idling for at least 2 min, observe the scan tool DTC information. DTC P1400 should run and pass.
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Inspect the air intake system for the following:
  • Damage, restriction, or modification
  • Dirty or deteriorating air filter element
  • Crankcase ventilation system for correct operation.
  • Water intrusion
  • Vacuum leak and other unmetered air downstream of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor
  • Intake manifold leak
  1. Inspect the exhaust system for the following:
  • Water intrusion
  • Exhaust leak
  • Damaged, restricted, or modified exhaust system. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Exhaust .
  1. Inspect for an engine mechanical condition that could alter the air flow into the combustion chamber.

    Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical .

Repair Instructions

DTC P150C

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P150C

Transmission Control Module Engine Speed Request Signal Message Counter Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

To improve vehicle shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) is constantly sending the ECM serial data messages with requests to modify engine speed or torque. These serial data messages are sent through two circuits which are part of a communication network called the controller area network (CAN). The ECM sets DTC P150C when it detects a discrepancy in the structure of this message causing its integrity to be questioned.

An intermittent fault in the controller area network (CAN) circuits will cause DTC P150C to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • DTCs P0506, P0507, or U0101 are not set.
  • The engine is running for greater than 0.5 s.
  • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the TCM engine speed request does not match the expected engine speed request.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P150C is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P150C is a Type B DTC.

  • If only DTC P150C is set
  1. Replace the K71 Transmission Control Module.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.
  3. Verify the DTC does not set.
  • If the DTC sets

Replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

  • If the DTC does not set
  1. All OK.
