B2202

What does B2202 mean?

B-code B2202 means "No Communication to VICS Module (No Fitting of VICS)". It is a generic OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the body electronics. A communication failure has been detected — the module responsible for the no communication to vics module (no fitting of vics) 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 B2202
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
