Causes
- Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker supplying the module power rail
- Open or short in the module power (Input Power A) wiring
- Poor or corroded battery, chassis or engine ground connections
- Low battery voltage or weak battery (especially during cranking)
- Faulty power relay supplying the module
- Intermittent connector pin contact (corrosion, loose terminal, bent pin)
Symptoms
- Check Engine / MIL or other warning lights illuminated
- Loss or intermittent operation of systems controlled by the affected module (doors, lighting, HVAC, instrument cluster, etc.)
- No communication with the module on the diagnostic tool (module not responding)
- Intermittent electrical faults or flickering dashboard instruments
- Vehicle may fail to start or experience hard start if module is critical to starting
- Multiple related DTCs set from modules that lost communication
What to check
- Use a scan tool: read U3006 code, stored freeze-frame and related codes, check module response on bus
- Check vehicle battery voltage (key OFF, key ON, during cranking)
- Inspect and test fuses and relays related to the suspect module power rail
- Visually inspect module connector(s) for corrosion, bent pins or water intrusion
- Measure voltage at the module power pin (Input Power A) with key ON and cranking
- Verify good chassis and engine grounds near module and battery
Signal parameters
- Battery voltage (key OFF, resting): ~12.3–12.8 V (vehicle dependent)
- Battery voltage (key ON, engine off): should be within ~0–0.5 V of battery resting voltage; generally 11.5–14.5 V
- Cranking voltage: typically not below ~9.5–10.5 V (manufacturer specific limits apply)
- Module supply pin (Input Power A): expected ≈ battery voltage when key ON/Run (within ±0.5 V)
- Module ground: continuity to battery negative near 0 Ω to a few ohms; high resistance indicates problem
- CAN/communication line idle voltages: approx. 2.5 V on each bus line (differential ~0 V) and proper termination
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve DTCs and freeze-frame data with a capable scan tool. Note conditions when U3006 set (key state, engine running, mileage, temp).
- Inspect fuses and relays for the module power feed. Replace suspect fuses/relays and retest.
- Measure battery voltage at battery terminals and at module power pin (Input Power A) with key OFF, key ON, and during crank. Compare readings.
- Inspect module connector for corrosion, water intrusion, damaged wires or pushed-out pins. Repair or replace connector as needed.
- Check all module grounds for tightness and corrosion; clean and retighten ground straps and bolts.
- Perform a wiring continuity and resistance check from the fuse/relay output to the module power pin; look for opens, shorts to ground or battery, or high resistance.
- If intermittent, wiggle harness and connectors while monitoring voltage/communication to reproduce fault.
- Check for aftermarket installations or recent repairs that may have altered the power circuit; correct any improper splices or loads.
- If supply wiring and external systems test good, suspect internal module power regulator failure. Verify with manufacturer-specific tests or replace/module reprogram as directed by service manual.
- After repairs, clear codes and road-test under the same conditions. Confirm U3006 does not return and related functions are restored.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or failed power relay on the module’s A supply
- Loose, corroded, or damaged connector at the affected control module
- Low battery or poor main ground reducing voltage at the module
- Short to ground or high resistance in the feed wire to the module
- Module internal power supply/regulator failure (less common)
Fault status
Status
Control module reported abnormal Input Power A: supply voltage missing, low, intermittent, or out of expected range. Check power feed, fuses/relays, grounds, connector integrity, battery condition and wiring before replacing the module.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0 - 3.0 hours
