What does U0112 mean?

U-code U0112 means "Lost Communication with Battery Energy Control Module B". It is a manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the vehicle network (CAN/LIN bus). A communication failure has been detected — the module responsible for the lost communication with battery energy control module b is not responding on the vehicle network. This code can be monitored, but service is recommended to prevent escalation. This code applies to OBD-II compliant electric and hybrid vehicles.

Possible Causes

  • CAN bus wiring fault (short, open, or termination resistor failure)
  • Faulty control module not transmitting on the vehicle network
  • Power supply issue preventing the module from initializing
  • Software mismatch or corruption in the affected module

Recommended Actions

  1. 1 Note the alert and schedule a diagnostic appointment when convenient
  2. 2 Scan for all DTCs with an OBD-II scanner — note any related codes stored alongside U0112
  3. 3 Check CAN bus wiring for damage; verify termination resistance (should be ~120 Ω between CAN-H and CAN-L)
  4. 4 Verify power supply and ground connections at the affected module
  5. 5 Clear the DTC, road-test the vehicle, and re-scan to confirm whether the fault returns
  6. 6 If the fault persists after inspection and clearing, consult an EV-certified technician for component replacement
