Lost Communication With Active Roll Control Module

Causes
- Open, shorted or corroded wiring or connectors to the ARC module
- Power or ground supply failure to the ARC module
- Faulty ARC module (internal failure)
- Vehicle network (CAN/LIN) fault or bus-off condition
- Missing or incorrect module programming/coding after replacement
- Intermittent connections (water intrusion, broken wire strands)
Symptoms
- ABS/ESC/traction control warning lamp or stability message illuminated
- Roll-control or suspension-related warning message on instrument cluster
- Loss or reduction of active roll control function; vehicle may feel less stable in quick lane changes
- Related adaptive suspension features disabled
- Stored network communication codes in scan tool
What to check
- Connect a capable scan tool. Verify U0133 and any related U-codes; note freeze frame and occurrence count
- Check for presence of the ARC module on the network via the scan tool (module ID, addressable)
- Inspect ARC module connector for corrosion, bent pins, water ingress and secure locking
- Verify module supply voltage at connector (battery voltage with ignition on) and ground integrity
- Measure CAN bus voltages at module connector: CAN_H, CAN_L and differential
- Measure resistance across CAN_H to CAN_L with ignition off (check termination ~60 ohms total)
Signal parameters
- Module supply voltage: battery voltage (approx. 11–14.5 V with ignition on)
- Ground: low resistance to battery negative (
- CAN bus idle voltages: CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V (each to chassis); differential near 0 V at idle, ±1 V during activity
- CAN bus termination resistance: ~60 ohms measured between CAN_H and CAN_L at two-wire terminated network (two 120 Ω in parallel)
- Short checks: no direct short to battery or ground on CAN_H or CAN_L
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all stored codes and freeze frame with a scan tool. Note any other network or module-specific codes.
- Attempt to communicate with the ARC module. If communication is intermittent, do a continuous monitor while performing wiggle tests on the harness and connectors.
- Visually inspect ARC module connector and harness for damage, corrosion, or moisture. Repair or replace damaged connectors as needed.
- Verify power and ground at the ARC module connector. Repair any open/poor circuits (check fuses, relays, and ground points).
- Backprobe CAN_H and CAN_L at the ARC connector. With ignition on, record voltages and verify termination resistance with ignition off.
- If bus voltages or termination are out of range, isolate and repair short/open. Disconnect other modules one at a time (if safe) to identify a faulty node causing bus issues.
- Check for a module in bus-off state via scan tool; clear codes and attempt to reinitialize the bus. If a module goes bus-off immediately, track wiring or node causing the condition.
- If wiring and network checks are good and the module receives proper power/ground but still won’t communicate, consider reprogramming/coding per manufacturer procedure. Replacing the ARC module should be a last step after verifying wiring and bus integrity.
- After repair or module replacement, clear codes and perform a road test or function test to confirm communication and functionality. Re-scan for recurrent codes.
Likely causes
- Damaged connector pins or corrosion at ARC module connector
- High resistance/poor ground at ARC module or common ground point
- CAN high/low shorted to each other, to battery, or to ground near ARC module
- Module powered but held in bus-off due to another node fault
- ARC module internal hardware/software failure
Fault status
Status
Lost Communication With Active Roll Control Module — ARC module not responding on vehicle network. Stability/roll-control systems may be disabled or operating in fallback mode.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
