DTC Descriptors

DTC P15F6

Front Object Detection Control Module Torque Request Signal Message Counter Incorrect.

Circuit/System Description

The active safety control module is constantly sending a serial data message to the engine control module requesting engine speed or torque reduction. The engine control module sets DTC P15F6 when it detects a discrepancy in the structure of the message causing the integrity of the message to be questioned. An intermittent fault in the serial data circuits will cause the engine control module to set DTC P15F6.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Engine running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The engine control module detects that the engine speed and torque modification messages from the active safety control module are either corrupted or intermittently missing.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • The active safety control module sends a serial data message to display the appropriate indicator message
  • The active safety control module features are unavailable.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
  • The engine control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.
