Causes
- Intermittent or failed communication on a vehicle data bus (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, etc.)
- Damaged, corroded or loose connector or pin at one or more modules
- Short or open in the bus wiring or shield
- Poor ground or low battery/voltage irregularity
- Faulty control module requesting or failing retransmits
- Excessive network load or noise (aftermarket devices, damaged shield)
Symptoms
- Intermittent or permanent loss of function for systems controlled over the affected bus (e.g., instruments, ABS, body functions)
- Multiple communication-related DTCs present across modules
- Modules appear to go asleep or wake repeatedly
- Instruments flicker or show incorrect data
- Poor starting or engine management anomalies if powertrain bus affected
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs from every module on all vehicle networks and note freeze frame data
- Check battery voltage and health; ensure good charging system and stable supply during tests
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring for the modules reporting communications or in common harness areas (corrosion, pushed out pins, broken clips)
- Backprobe module connector power and ground circuits; verify solid grounds and proper supply voltages
- Check bus termination resistances (e.g., ~60 ohms for two 120Ω CAN terminations in parallel) with power off where appropriate
- Wiggle test harnesses and connectors while monitoring DTCs and live data to try to reproduce the fault
Signal parameters
- Typical CAN idle (recessive) approx. 2.5 V on CAN_H and CAN_L relative to ground; dominant state pulls CAN_H ≈ 3.5–4.0 V and CAN_L ≈ 1.0–1.5 V (differential ≈ 2 V)
- Bus termination: two 120 Ω resistors in parallel (~60 Ω) on CAN high-speed networks
- LIN idle ~ battery voltage via pull-up; dominant low to near 0 V
- Expected message timing: check OEM network specification for message frequency and payload sizes (compare to live capture)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all network-related codes from every module; record module IDs and timestamps. Clear codes and attempt to reproduce the issue.
- Confirm vehicle battery and charging system are within spec; ensure no low-voltage events during testing.
- Inspect visually: open connector seals, check pin corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion in relevant modules and junction blocks. Repair or reseal as needed.
- Verify power and ground at suspect modules (backprobe): repair poor ground connections and wiring faults.
- With ignition on, measure bus idle voltages on CAN_H and CAN_L at a junction using a voltmeter — compare to expected values. If abnormal, power down and measure termination resistances.
- Use a diagnostic CAN/LIN interface or oscilloscope to capture comms while exercising affected systems. Look for missing frames, CRC errors, repeated retransmit flags, constant dominant states, or excessive error frames.
- Isolate sections: disconnect modules or segments to see if the bus behavior changes (do this per OEM safe procedures). Replace/repair harness sections showing faults.
- If wiring and terminations are good and faults persist localized to one module, consider software update/reflash of the module per OEM bulletin. If that fails, replace the suspected faulty control module and verify.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform full test drive and network capture to confirm the retransmit condition no longer appears.
Likely causes
- Corroded/loose connector at an affected module
- Broken or chafed CAN/LIN wiring harness in a common routing area
- Bad ground at body/control module chassis mounting point
- Faulty module with internal communications fault
- Aftermarket accessory injecting noise or loading the bus
Fault status
Status
Stored when a module detects missing/failed message reception and requests retransmission on a vehicle communication bus. Indicates a communication integrity or wiring/connector/module issue rather than a specific component mechanical fault.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.5-4 hours
