U01B0: Lost Communication With Battery Monitor Module
Standardized SAE J2012 code · U01xx — Lost communication with modules
What does U01B0 mean?
ECU lost communication with the battery monitor module (12V battery state-of-charge/health monitoring).
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 Module unpowered
- 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.
