System
Network (CAN Bus)
Scanner som krävs
Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Lost Communication with Body Control Module B

Understand U0142, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Secondary BCM not on network — lights, locks, or accessories may misbehave.

Vanliga symptom

  • Random electrical gremlins
  • Door lock issues
  • Lighting faults

Typiska orsaker

  • Failed BCM
  • CAN wiring in dash
  • Water leak into BCM
  • Low voltage

Vilken scanner behöver du?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Använd live-data och freeze frame innan du byter delar. ABS-, SRS- och U-koder kräver oftast en fullsystems-scanner.

Diagnostiktips

  • Spara freeze frame när koden först sätts
  • Rensa koden först efter att orsaken är åtgärdad
  • Kontrollera relaterade väntande koder
  • Verifiera batterispänning över 12,4 V innan du misstänker sensorer
