Causes

  • Battery Energy Control Module B (BECE-B) failure
  • Faulty CAN bus wiring (open/short to ground or battery) between module and CAN network
  • Poor or corroded connector pins at module, junctions or gateway module
  • Blown fuse or loss of module power/ground (12 V supply or ground)
  • CAN bus arbitration / termination fault (missing 60 Ω termination or short)
  • Other module on same bus causing bus-off condition

Symptoms

  • MIL / warning lamp for EV/HEV system, battery charging, or multiple modules
  • Inability to charge or discharge HV battery properly; reduced vehicle performance or limp mode
  • Loss of hybrid/EV drive modes or no start condition for electric drive
  • Multiple communication-related DTCs present on scan tool
  • Instrument cluster may show communication warnings or missing data (SOC, HV status)
  • Possible reduced regenerative braking or charging disabled

What to check

  • Read and record all U-codes and freeze frame / data with a capable scan tool.
  • Verify 12V battery voltage and state (engine off and cranking).
  • Inspect fuses and relays supplying BECE-B and related gateway / CAN power circuits.
  • Visually inspect connectors at BECE-B, gateway, and CAN junctions for corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion, or looseness.
  • Check for presence of other related U-codes (bus-off, lost comm with gateway, module A) to identify scope.
  • Measure CAN bus voltages at a known good location and at BECE-B connector (see signal_params).

Signal parameters

  • Idle CAN bus (recessive): CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V
  • Dominant CAN state: CAN_H ≈ 3.5–4.0 V, CAN_L ≈ 1.0–1.5 V (approximate values; confirm with manufacturer specs)
  • Termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L: ≈ 60 ohms (two 120 Ω terminators in parallel)
  • Module supply voltage (VBATT/IGN): approx. 11–14 V when system powered; check exact pin voltage per wiring diagram
  • Module ground: near 0 V with good connection
  • CAN data activity: bus traffic present when vehicle ignition ON; absence indicates missing module transmissions

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a qualified scan tool and read all DTCs. Record freeze-frame and any dependent codes.
  2. Verify vehicle battery and 12V system health. Recharge or replace battery if below specification.
  3. Inspect BECE-B power and ground fuses/relays. Verify proper voltages at the BECE-B power connector with ignition ON and during attempted communication.
  4. Visually inspect BECE-B harness and connectors for damage, corrosion, loose pins, or water. Repair as needed.
  5. With ignition ON, use a DMM/oscilloscope to check CAN_H and CAN_L voltages at BECE-B connector and at the gateway/module junction. Compare to expected signal_params.
  6. Check termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L at key points. If open or out of spec, locate and repair broken/removed terminator or short.
  7. Perform continuity and short-to-power/ground checks on CAN wiring between BECE-B and gateway/TCU/BCM. Repair any shorts or opens.
  8. If the bus is ‘bus-off’ due to another module, isolate sections of the network (disconnect suspected modules one at a time) and re-check communications to identify the offending module.
  9. If power/ground and wiring check OK but no communication, attempt to communicate directly with BECE-B using the scan tool. If no response, suspect module failure.
  10. Before replacing any module, verify with wiring diagrams and consider swapping with known-good module only when appropriate. Follow manufacturer procedures for module replacement and initialization.
  11. After repairs, clear codes and perform a road test or system functional test to ensure normal communication and that the DTC does not return.
  12. Safety note: HV system components may be present. Follow manufacturer high-voltage isolation and service procedures before accessing HV connectors or modules.

Likely causes

  • Blown fuse or disconnected 12 V feed / ground to Battery Energy Control Module B
  • Damaged or loose connector at the BECE-B module or at a CAN junction
  • CAN bus short to battery or ground between the module and gateway
  • Module hardware failure (BECE-B internal) after other checks
  • Gateway or BCM not forwarding CAN messages (fault in gateway/ECU)
