U0234: Lost Communication With Convenience Recall Module

Standardized SAE J2012 code · U02xx — Lost communication with modules

What does U0234 mean?

ECU lost communication with the convenience recall module (recalls user-specific seat/mirror/wheel positions).

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.

Add your car to see reports of U0234 on the same make and model first.
