Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the Engine Control Unit (ECU) detects ongoing communication issues with the Body Control Unit (BCU). These problems can affect a wide range of vehicle functions controlled by the BCU, such as lighting, climate control, and vehicle security systems.

Reaction:

Communication disruptions may lead to erratic or non-functional body control operations, potentially affecting vehicle safety and usability.

Recommendations:

• Check CAN Bus Connectivity: Inspect the CAN Bus connections between the ECU and BCU for any loose, damaged, or corroded connectors that might impede communication.
• Diagnose Wiring and Circuitry: Utilize diagnostic tools to test the integrity of the wiring and circuitry involved in the CAN Bus system. Look for shorts, opens, and improper grounding.
• Replace Faulty Components: Any identified faulty wiring or components within the CAN Bus system should be repaired or replaced to restore proper communication.
• Reset Both Units: After addressing physical and connectivity issues, reset both the ECU and BCU to clear any stored faults and re-establish communication protocols.
• Test System Functionality: Conduct thorough testing to ensure that all functions controlled by the BCU are operating correctly and that communication with the ECU is stable.

Note:

Consistent communication between the ECU and BCU is crucial for the reliable operation of numerous vehicle functions. Regular system checks and maintenance can prevent communication failures.
