Causes
- Faulty or unresponsive Automated Driving System Interface Module B
- Corrupt or malformed CAN/LIN/FlexRay messages from Module B
- Damaged wiring, poor connector contact, or intermittent bus connection
- Power supply or ground fault at Module B
- Module software/firmware mismatch or corrupted calibration
- Bus contention, high error rate, or missing/incorrect message timing
Symptoms
- Automated driving / driver assistance features disabled or unavailable
- Warning or fault message for autonomous driving system displayed
- Reduced functionality of adaptive cruise, lane keep, or similar systems
- Multiple communication-related DTCs present on scan tool
- Intermittent or permanent loss of information from Module B (speed, steering, status)
- Possible MIL or indicator lamps related to stability / ADAS
What to check
- Connect a diagnostic scan tool, read all DTCs and freeze frame data; note which modules report the error
- Verify vehicle battery voltage is within specification while key on/engine running
- Visually inspect Module B connectors, harness for corrosion, damage, or water ingress
- Check for blown fuses and proper power/ground at Module B with a multimeter
- Monitor the vehicle network (CAN/LIN/FlexRay) for traffic, errors, and message frequency using a scope or data logger
- Perform a wiggle test on wiring harness while monitoring network for errors
Signal parameters
- Expected message ID(s) from Module B and their update intervals (e.g., CAN ID 0x2XX @ 20–100 ms)
- Data length (DLC) and expected bitfield mapping for critical signals (steering angle, vehicle speed, brake torque)
- Valid signal ranges and scaling (e.g., steering angle -720 to +720 deg, vehicle speed 0–300 km/h)
- Message CRC or checksum fields (if used) and expected values or calculation method
- Bus voltage levels: CAN_H ~2.5V idle, CAN_L ~2.5V idle; differential ~0V idle, ~2V dominant
- Error counters: CAN error frames, transmit/receive error counts on failing node
Diagnostic algorithm
- Record DTCs and freeze frame. Note if U0460 is current or history and if other network DTCs are present.
- Verify battery voltage and inspect Module B power and ground circuits. Repair any low voltage or poor ground first.
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring for Module B; repair corroded pins or damaged insulation.
- With a suitable network tool, monitor the bus while reproducing the fault. Look for malformed frames, unexpected CAN IDs, missing periodic messages, or high error rates.
- If malformed messages are seen, trace wiring to identify intermittent connector or short to supply/ground. Perform wiggle tests while observing network traffic.
- Check transceiver function: measure CAN_H/CAN_L signals at Module B relative to ground and compare to a known-good node.
- If network traffic appears normal but data fields are invalid, attempt to query Module B with a diagnostic tool to verify software ID and configuration. Compare calibration file/part numbers to factory records.
- Reflash or update Module B software if an update or corruption is suspected. Follow manufacturer procedures and security/authentication steps.
- If Module B is unresponsive to diagnostics or continues to transmit invalid data after wiring and software verification, consider replacing Module B and verifying system operation.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform full system test under the same conditions that produced the fault to confirm the issue is resolved.
Likely causes
- Open/short in the CAN bus or at Module B connectors
- Module B lost power or ground intermittently causing corrupted transmissions
- Module B firmware incompatible after a recent software update or replacement
- Other ECU on the network sending malformed message ID or data
- Failed Module B hardware (processor, transceiver or internal memory corruption)
Fault status
Status
Invalid or out-of-range data received from Automated Driving System Interface Module B; automated driving features may be disabled.
Repair difficulty: Hard
Diagnostic time: 1.5-4 hours
