Causes
- Faulty Moveable Roof Control Module "B" (internal fault or corrupted firmware)
- Intermittent or open/shorted wiring or connectors between module B and the vehicle data bus
- Loss of module power or ground (low voltage, high resistance ground)
- CAN/LIN bus faults (short to battery/ground, missing termination, excessive noise)
- Software/calibration mismatch after module replacement or update
- Another module on the network sending corrupted frames
Symptoms
- Moveable roof operation intermittent or inoperative
- Warning message or indicator on dash related to roof or communication
- Other modules reporting related network communication errors
- Stored U050B code (may be accompanied by other U0xxx codes)
- Inability to communicate with Moveable Roof Control Module "B" using a scan tool
What to check
- Read current and history DTCs, freeze frame, and network-related codes with a capable scan tool
- Attempt to communicate directly with Moveable Roof Control Module "B" (module present/responding?)
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring at the module for damage, corrosion or bent pins
- Check module power and ground circuits for correct voltage and good ground continuity
- Measure CAN/LIN bus voltages at the module (compare CAN_H/CAN_L to expected values)
- Verify proper termination resistor value across CAN_H and CAN_L (typically ~60 ohms total)
Signal parameters
- CAN_H and CAN_L at rest ~2.5 V each (recessive state)
- Dominant CAN state typically shows CAN_H ~3.5 V and CAN_L ~1.5 V (differential ~2 V)
- Voltage supply to module (battery voltage) should be within ~0.5 V of battery
- Good ground: near 0 V between module ground and battery negative with vehicle off
- Termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L typically ~60 ohms (two 120 ohm in parallel)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all network-related DTCs from all modules and record freeze frame data.
- Attempt to communicate with Moveable Roof Control Module "B" using the OEM or capable scan tool; note if module responds.
- Inspect harness and connectors at module B for damage, corrosion or loose pins; reseat connectors.
- Check battery voltage at module power pin with ignition on and measure ground resistance to battery negative.
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L voltages at the module with ignition on; compare to expected values and to another module on same bus.
- Verify termination resistance across CAN_H/L (~60 ohms). If abnormal, isolate segments to find short/open.
- Perform a wiggle test on harness while monitoring communication for intermittent changes.
- If wiring and power/ground are good, attempt software/firmware re-flash or module re-initialization per OEM procedure.
- If fault follows the module after testing and reprogramming, consider replacing Moveable Roof Control Module "B" and re-check network.
- After repairs, clear codes and verify normal operation and that no related network codes return.
Likely causes
- Damaged or loose connector or wiring at Moveable Roof Control Module "B"
- Loss of ground or supply to module B producing corrupted messages
- Module B internal failure (firmware or hardware)
- Bus termination missing or short causing distorted signals
- Recent module replacement or software update not calibrated/configured
Fault status
Status
Invalid data received from Moveable Roof Control Module "B" — module is reporting corrupted or unexpected messages on the vehicle data bus or is not communicating correctly.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.5-3.0 hours
