U0E47

U0E47 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is commonly associated with automotive systems, particularly those related to emissions control. This code is typically found in vehicles equipped with an OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics II) system, which monitors various aspects of the vehicle's performance and emissions.

The U0E47 code specifically indicates a loss of communication with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is a critical component in modern vehicles, responsible for managing the transmission system's operations. When the vehicle's central control module, often the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), loses communication with the TCM, it triggers the U0E47 code.

Several factors can contribute to the U0E47 code being set. Common causes include damaged or corroded wiring and connectors between the TCM and the ECM/PCM, faulty TCM or ECM/PCM, or issues with the vehicle's power supply. In some cases, software updates or reprogramming of the control modules may be necessary to resolve the issue.

When a vehicle's onboard diagnostics system detects the U0E47 code, it typically illuminates the check engine light on the dashboard. It is important to address this issue promptly, as it can affect the vehicle's drivability and emissions performance. Diagnosing and repairing the problem usually involves using a scan tool to confirm the code, inspecting the relevant wiring and connectors, and testing the control modules. Professional diagnostic tools and expertise are often required to accurately identify and resolve the underlying cause of the U0E47 code.
