DTC U1A00:49 (Private Communication Network: Internal Electronic Failure) - this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets in continuous memory and on-demand when there is a communication issue between the ABS module and the RCM.
DTC U1A00:87 (Private Communication Network: Missing Message) - this DTC sets in continuous memory and on-demand when expected messages such as yaw rate sensor, lateral accelerometer, and longitudinal accelerometer missing for more than 5 seconds.
DTC U1A00:88 (Private Communication Network: Bus Off) - this DTC sets in continuous memory and on-demand when the communication bus is down between the ABS module and the RCM and they are unable to communicate.
To diagnose the U1A00 Mercury code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The yaw rate sensor, lateral and longitudinal accelerometers are contained in the Restraints Control Module (RCM). The RCM measures vehicle yaw rate, roll rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration and then sends the information to the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module along with a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN). This dedicated CAN is used only for communication between the RCM and the ABS Module. The information sent to the ABS module is used to help determine if the AdvanceTrac® system needs to be activated. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets in continuous memory and on-demand when there is a communication issue between the ABS module and the RCM.
