Causes
- Intermittent or broken wiring on the CAN/multiplex bus between modules
- Corroded or loose connector at one of the side modules (RV or LV)
- Faulty side control module (door module, mirror module, lighting module, etc.)
- Power supply or ground fault to one of the modules
- Bus termination fault (missing/incorrect termination resistor)
- Software mismatch or module configuration error after replacement or update
Symptoms
- Warning lamp or message on dash related to vehicle configuration/communication
- Loss or improper operation of side-specific functions (mirrors, windows, lights, sensors)
- Intermittent operation that may improve after ignition cycles or tap on harness/connectors
- Other communication-related DTCs present (U-codes or manufacturer network faults)
- Inconsistent live-data values for left vs right-side sensors or status bits
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs and note freeze-frame/live-data
- Check for related U-codes (bus/module communication) and manufacturer codes
- Visually inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for the RV/LV modules for corrosion, damage and water ingress
- Check fuses and module power/ground pins for proper battery voltage and chassis ground
- Measure CAN bus end-to-end resistance (should be ~60 ohm with ignition on) and check for proper termination
- Use scanner to view left/right module message fields, counters and CRCs; compare values
Signal parameters
- Battery supply to modules: ~12 V (measured at module + terminal with ignition ON)
- Ground continuity: module ground to chassis < 1 ohm
- CAN bus end-to-end resistance: ~60 ohms (two 120 ohm terminators in parallel)
- Idle CANH and CANL voltages: ~2.5 V each (differential ~0 V when recessive), dominant differential ~1.5–2.0 V
- Expected message frequency: depend on manufacturer — check scanner for RV/LV message IDs, counters and CRC fields
- Check message counters/timestamps for gaps or repeated frames indicating missed or corrupted messages
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a full-function scan tool and read all DTCs; save freeze-frame and live data for RV and LV related parameters.
- Identify related U-codes or P-codes and note which modules report loss or incoherence.
- Visually inspect connectors and harnesses for the left & right side modules (look for moisture, corrosion, bent pins, taped repairs).
- Verify module power and ground at each module connector with key ON; repair any supply or ground faults.
- Measure CAN bus resistance between CAN high and CAN low at appropriate connector — expect ~60 ohms. Repair missing/incorrect termination if present.
- Monitor the CAN bus with a scope while operating the affected function or wiggling harness to reproduce fault; look for missing frames, noise or dominant states.
- If one module is not transmitting or sends corrupted frames, swap with known-good identical module (if practical) to confirm module fault — only after verifying wiring/power.
- If software mismatch is suspected after module replacement, check for required configuration or coding and reprogram/update per manufacturer procedure.
- Clear codes and perform road/functional test to confirm fault does not return before declaring repair complete.
Likely causes
- Connector corrosion or poor pin contact at the affected side module
- Damaged CAN twisted pair (chafing, pinched, broken wire)
- Failed side module (internal electronics) causing corrupted/missing messages
- Missing module supply or ground resulting in asymmetric data
- Incorrect or missing termination resistor at the ends of the CAN bus
Fault status
Status
Multiplex communication incoherence detected between right and left side modules (RV/LV). Data from one side is missing, corrupted or inconsistent.
Repair difficulty: Hard
Diagnostic time: 1.5-4.0 hours
