Causes

  • Manufacturer-reserved code—specific root cause not published in generic sources
  • Intermittent or permanent loss of communication with a body/control module
  • Low battery voltage or poor battery connection during control module operation
  • Corroded or loose connectors, damaged harness, or water ingress
  • Corrupted software/calibration or failed module hardware

Symptoms

  • One or more vehicle body functions inoperative or intermittent (locks, lights, wipers, HVAC controls)
  • Malfunction indicator(s) or message(s) related to body systems
  • Modules not present or not responding when scanned with a diagnostic tool
  • Multiple related or network communication fault codes stored
  • Unexpected module reboots or erratic behavior of accessories

What to check

  • Read full vehicle scan with a JLR-approved diagnostic tool and save freeze-frame/vehicle status
  • Check for related/preceding U- or B-class codes (communications and module-specific codes)
  • Verify battery state-of-charge and voltage while key on/engine running
  • Inspect fuses, fusible links and module power/ground points for corrosion or damage
  • Visually inspect connectors and wiring to the suspected module for corrosion, moisture, chafing or rodent damage
  • Confirm module software/calibration level and check for open technical bulletins (TSBs) or manufacturer service notes

Signal parameters

  • CAN bus: message arbitration IDs for body module, expected periodic message rate (consult factory data)
  • CAN physical layer voltages: CAN_H and CAN_L differential behaviour (approx. 2.5 V idle; differential ~2 V when active)
  • Module supply voltage: battery positive at module connector with ignition on (typically ~11–14.5 V)
  • Ground resistance: low-ohm connection to chassis ground (
  • LIN/serial signals (if applicable): expected idle levels and wake-up timing per factory documentation

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve full system scan and note any accompanying fault codes and freeze-frame data; record conditions when code set.
  2. Check battery condition and charging system; ensure battery voltage is within specification during diagnostics.
  3. Inspect relevant fuses, relays and main power/ground connections for the affected body module(s). Repair any issues found.
  4. Visually inspect wiring harness and connectors at the module for corrosion, water ingress, bent pins or damage; repair as needed.
  5. Using a JLR factory diagnostic tool, attempt to communicate with the indicated module. If the module is not present, trace CAN/LIN network to locate the break or short.
  6. Monitor CAN traffic while exercising related functions; look for missing or repeating messages and error frames.
  7. If communication is present but erratic, check supply and ground while operating the system (voltage drop/wiggle test).
  8. Check for and apply any required software updates or reflash the module per factory procedures; follow exact programming steps to avoid corruption.
  9. If module hardware is confirmed faulty after checks and programming, replace the module and reprogram/configure according to manufacturer instructions.
  10. Clear codes and perform a full system recheck and functional test to confirm repair. Document steps and any replaced components.

Likely causes

  • Faulty body control module (intermittent hardware fault)
  • CAN bus or LIN bus communication fault between modules
  • Poor power/ground to the affected module (fuse, fusible link, ground strap)
  • Recent software update or programming interrupted/corrupted
  • Environmental damage (moisture, rodents) to wiring or connectors
