Control Module Input Power Circuit B/C Correlation

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

Voltages on input power lines B and C do not correlate as expected. A communication loss with this module breaks any function relying on its data — diagnostic tools may show 'no response' and dependent modules can fall into limp mode.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.

Symptoms you may notice
  • Multiple warning lights may illuminate
  • Affected modules may go into limp mode or shut down
  • Specific functions inoperative depending on module
  • Diagnostic tools may show communication faults

Many vehicles show no symptom at all beyond the warning light. The absence of a symptom does not mean the fault is not real.

Likely causes

2Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectlyOccasional
3CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of specOccasional

Ordering reflects how often each cause is responsible in general, not a probability for your vehicle. Confirm by testing.
