U0114

What it means

The 4WD Clutch Control Module has stopped transmitting on the vehicle data bus, so other control units no longer receive its messages. Electronically controlled four-wheel-drive engagement is unavailable. Typical causes are loss of power or ground at the module, an open or shorted CAN/LIN bus wire, a connector fault, or an internal module failure.

Is it safe to drive?

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
