Vehicle Condition and Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

DTC Code	Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected	Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected
U0100	There is no effect on vehicle behavior.	If the following conditions are met, it can be determined that the malfunction is not in the direct line (NE) but in the CAN communication system. When the engine switch is pressed, the system controls the engine based on the engine speed signal via direct line, causing the engine to stop cranking. When the engine switch is pressed and held, the system controls the engine based on the engine speed signal via direct line, causing the engine to stop cranking. If the following conditions are met, it can be determined that there is a malfunction in both the CAN communication system and the direct line (NE). When the engine switch is pressed, the engine stops cranking after 6 seconds. When the engine switch is pressed and held, the engine remains cranking for up to 30 seconds.
U0140 U0142	Doors cannot be locked or unlocked. The warning (wireless buzzer) does not sound.	-
