U007E: Control Module Communication Bus L Off

Standardized SAE J2012 code · U00xx — Network electrical

What does U007E mean?

The control module communication bus L is off — the gateway has shut down or isolated this bus, often due to repeated bus errors or a "bus off" event in the CAN controller.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • 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

Common causes

  • High CAN controller in bus-off state
  • Low Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
  • Low CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.

Add your car to see reports of U007E on the same make and model first.
