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

  1. Connect a full-function scan tool and read all DTCs; save freeze-frame and live data for RV and LV related parameters.
  2. Identify related U-codes or P-codes and note which modules report loss or incoherence.
  3. Visually inspect connectors and harnesses for the left & right side modules (look for moisture, corrosion, bent pins, taped repairs).
  4. Verify module power and ground at each module connector with key ON; repair any supply or ground faults.
  5. Measure CAN bus resistance between CAN high and CAN low at appropriate connector — expect ~60 ohms. Repair missing/incorrect termination if present.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. If software mismatch is suspected after module replacement, check for required configuration or coding and reprogram/update per manufacturer procedure.
  9. 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.
