Control Module Communication Bus \"C\" Off

High severity

What it means

A control module has shut its bus C interface off because the bus is non-functional. Bus C is typically a tertiary CAN or LIN segment used for diagnostic or specialized subsystems.

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

  • Bus C line shorted to supply or ground

    high

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

  • One failing module pulling the bus down

    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.
