U01B3: Lost Communication With Brake Blending Actuator
Standardized SAE J2012 code · U01xx — Lost communication with modules
What does U01B3 mean?
ECU lost communication with the brake blending actuator (modulates between regen and friction braking on hybrids/EVs).
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 Actuator unpowered or wiring broken
- 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.
