P16D6 ACURA Description
The Integrated Motor Assist-Controller Area Network (IMA-CAN) uses two signal lines, IMACANH and IMACANL, and it receives and transmits multiple signals simultaneously to/from multiple control modules.
When the signals are not sent from the CVT CPU through the IMA-CAN and this condition continues for a specified time, or when the signals sent from the CVT CPU are abnormal and this condition continues for a specified cycle, a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored.
