Powertrain Sensor Data Bus

High severity

What it means

A fault has been detected on the dedicated powertrain sensor data bus (a sub-bus used for high-speed sensor data such as crank, knock or wheel-speed). Symptoms range from rough running to limp-home, depending on which sensor stream is missing.

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

  • Sensor data bus wiring damaged

    high

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

  • Sensor module on bus failed

    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.
