Code result

U0006

High Speed CAN Communication Bus Open

High severity

What it means

The CAN-Low wire of the high-speed bus is open. The differential signal can no longer be evaluated correctly, so all bus participants report communication loss simultaneously.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code can put the vehicle into limp or reduced-power mode. Avoid extended driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • CAN-Low wire broken

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Pin pushed back in connector

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
