What is the U0107 fault code What is the description for Lost Communication with Throttle Actuator Controller (TAC) module failure? How can you fix the U0107 fault code What are the causes and symptoms of U0107 fault code
What is U0107 Fault Coding? What does it signify?
The automotive industry’s most common circuit for control modules and other electronic parts to communicate is the. “Controller Area Network (CAN)” bus. The manufacturer will pre-programme the data to be sent to the modules. Operating information and commands can also be exchanged via CAN bus.
Two special copper wires called “CAN High” (High) “CAN Low” These cables are used to communicate (lower). They come in different colors. The black wire is the highest, while the orange-brown one is the lowest. When there is no data transmission, both wires have 2.5V. During data transmission, both the high priority and low priority lines rise to 3.75V, while the lower priority line drops to 1.25V. This creates 2.5V between the lines. The voltage difference between bus lines determines communication.
The throttle actuator (TAC), also known as electronic throttle controller (ETC/ETB) is used in modern cars. Based on the information from the powertrain control modules (PCM), these modules control engine speed. The main component of the system’s throttle body is located between intake manifolds (air filter) and the throttle body. The throttle body sends signals to an electric motor that controls the throttle body. This allows it to determine how big the plate will open and close. The driver’s acceleration pedal is directly related to how much the plate opens. The accelerator pedal position sensors (APP), which are placed on the accelerator pedal, calculate how much the plate should open. To verify that the plate is properly opening, the PCM uses throttle position sensor (TPS). These sensors and processes allow your vehicle to accelerate.
If the throttle actuator control module or the PCM are not able to communicate with it, the engine will run at approximately 1000 RPM and idle. The U0107 fault code has been set.
The U0107 fault code can affect vehicles of all makes and models, including Acura, Honda, Acura, Ford, Dodge Ram, GMC, Volkswagen, and Chevrolet.
What Causes the U0107 Fault Code
Here are some reasons to assign U0107 as a fault code:
- – Broken, damaged, melted or corroded wires that cause an open circuit or short circuit in CAN bus
- – Poor electricity due to open or short circuit problems in wiring to electronic throttle control module.
- – Pins broken or bent on electronic throttle control module sockets
- Blown Fuses
- – Low voltage battery, dead or weak.
- – Rarely, a defective electronic throttle control module
What are the symptoms of the U0107 Fault code?
You may experience the following symptoms if your vehicle has the U0107 code:
- – Turn on the engine light
- – The electronic throttle warning light could illuminate or flash.
- – The car won’t respond to pressing the accelerator pedal, it only runs at idle
- – Other related fault codes
How do I fix the U0107 fault code?
The following repairs can help resolve the U0107 fault code
- – Repair or replacement for damaged, melted and corroded wires that are causing an open or brief circuit on the CAN bus
- Repair or replacement of damaged or broken wires that connect to the electronic throttle controller module, causing an open or short-circuit.
- – Replacing blown fuse
- – Clean the electronic throttle control module connectors that have become corroded
- – Repair bent or broken pins
- – Battery voltage test and replacement if needed
- – Reprogramming or replacing the defective electronic throttle control module
How serious is U0107’s Fault Code?
Control module faults should be treated seriously. Your vehicle will stop running if this code has been set. It may happen intermittently depending on what caused the fault. Both situations should be treated promptly and the fault fixed as soon as possible.
