Causes
- Faulty hybrid/EV battery inductive charging module (internal fault)
- CAN / LIN data corruption or bus errors
- Damaged wiring, chafed harness, loose or corroded connector(s) between modules
- Low or missing power/ground to the inductive charging module
- Faulty battery management system (BMS) or other gateway module misreporting data
- Incorrect or incompatible software/calibration in one or more control modules
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or warning light illuminated
- Inductive charging not starting or stops unexpectedly
- Reduced or no charging via inductive pad while wired charging may still work
- Incorrect state-of-charge (SOC) or charging status displayed
- Additional communication or related U-codes present
- Vehicle may enter limited charging or limp mode for safety
What to check
- Read and record all current and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data from all modules (BMS, charger, vehicle network)
- Check for related U- and B- codes that identify affected messages or source module
- Visually inspect wiring and connectors at the inductive charging module and between it and the BMS/vehicle gateway
- Verify module supply voltage and ground integrity with the ignition in correct state
- Scan live data for expected inductive charging parameters (status, voltage, current, SOC) and message frequency
- Check CAN bus health: error counters, bus-off events, termination resistors, and physical continuity
Signal parameters
- CAN message ID(s) for inductive charger status
- Message frequency (expected bus rate and packet intervals)
- Payload fields: charging_status, pack_voltage, pack_current, state_of_charge (SOC), pack_temperature
- Checksum or CRC field validity
- Power supply voltage to inductive charging module (Vbatt or ignition feed)
- Module ground resistance/volt drop
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a professional scan tool; retrieve and record U044C and any related codes and freeze-frame data from all networks.
- Check for other modules reporting invalid or missing data (BMS, charger, gateway, instrument cluster). Note which CAN node reported U044C.
- Perform visual inspection of wiring, bends, and connector pins at the inductive charging module, BMS and gateway. Repair any damage or corrosion.
- With ignition ON, measure module supply voltage and ground quality. Repair open/poor circuits before further tests.
- Monitor live data: confirm whether inductive charger messages arrive on CAN and whether values are plausible. Note missing or intermittent packets.
- If messages are corrupt or missing, use an oscilloscope/CAN analyzer to capture waveforms, check for bus noise, missing termination, or high error counters.
- If bus and wiring are good but data is invalid, check for software updates or calibration service bulletins for charging and BMS modules; reflash per manufacturer procedure if applicable.
- If module continues to report invalid data after power/ground and network checks, consider bench testing or replacing the inductive charging module per service manual.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform drive/charge cycles to verify the fault does not return and normal charging parameters resume.
Likely causes
- Intermittent or failed CAN communication between the inductive charging module and vehicle network
- Poor connector contact or damaged wiring at the inductive charging module
- Inductive charging module hardware fault or internal firmware error
- Power/ground fault to the inductive charging module
Fault status
Status
Invalid data received from hybrid/EV battery inductive charging module — communication or data integrity failure.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.5-3.0 hours
