Causes
- Battery Energy Control Module C is not responding or is sending corrupted CAN messages
- Open, shorted or intermittent wiring between the battery module and vehicle data bus
- Faulty or loose connector at the battery energy control module or junctions
- Loss of power or ground to Battery Energy Control Module C
- CAN bus/communication network fault (termination, short to battery or ground, high resistance)
- Software/configuration mismatch after update or module replacement
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or warning lights related to battery/HV system illuminated
- Battery pack information (SOC, voltage, current) missing or incorrect on cluster
- Reduced vehicle performance or limp-home mode related to HV battery control
- Multiple modules logging related communication or invalid-data DTCs
- Charging or regenerative braking faults or disabled charging
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data from all modules (scan tool)
- Check for other communication/network DTCs (U0100, U0073, etc.) to identify bus-wide issues
- Confirm presence and rate of Battery Energy Control Module C CAN messages with a capable scan tool or oscilloscope
- Inspect battery module connectors, harness, and intrusion points for corrosion, damage, or water
- Verify module supply and ground voltages with battery disconnected per HV safety procedures
- Measure CAN bus voltage levels, bus idle voltages, and check termination resistors if needed
Signal parameters
- CAN message ID(s) published by Battery Energy Control Module C (module-specific IDs)
- Message frequency / period (messages per second or ms interval)
- Alive/counter bytes and checksum/CRC fields if used
- Pack-level parameters present in messages: pack voltage, pack current, SOC, HV contactor state
- Cell voltage/min-max values and pack temperature fields (if present)
- Message payload ranges and expected byte values per manufacturer documentation
Diagnostic algorithm
- Safety first: follow HV system isolation and PPE procedures before accessing battery or HV connectors.
- Use a scan tool to record U044B and any accompanying DTCs, freeze frame, and which modules reported the fault.
- Observe live data and capture CAN traffic while the vehicle is in the state where the fault sets (key on, drive, charging). Note missing or malformed battery module messages.
- If messages are absent or corrupted, inspect and secure connectors at Battery Energy Control Module C and intermediate junctions; look for bent pins, corrosion, or water intrusion.
- Verify supply voltage and ground at the battery control module (per manufacturer service manual). Repair any low/high supply or poor ground connections.
- Check CAN bus integrity: measure bus idle voltages, check for shorts to battery/ground, and verify termination resistors. Repair wiring as needed.
- If wiring and power are good but communications remain invalid, verify software/firmware levels and reflash or update per OEM procedure if a mismatch or known bug exists.
- If the module does not respond correctly after wiring/power/software verification, replace Battery Energy Control Module C per service instructions.
- Clear DTCs, then perform a functional test and road test to confirm fault does not return. Re-scan all modules to ensure no new related codes.
Likely causes
- Intermittent connector or wiring fault at the battery module harness
- Battery Energy Control Module C has lost supply or ground
- CAN bus wiring/termination fault affecting message integrity
- Module software fault or corrupted calibration after update
- Module internal hardware failure
Fault status
Status
Invalid data received from Battery Energy Control Module C — communication messages missing, corrupted, or out-of-range. Possible communication bus, power/ground, connector, or module fault.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1 - 3 hours
