High Speed CAN Communication Bus Performance

What Does U0002 Mean?

The High Speed CAN bus is operational but experiencing performance degradation such as intermittent communication, slow data transmission, or signal quality issues. This indicates the network is functioning but not at proper specifications.

Common Causes

30%

High resistance in CAN bus connections or terminals

Wire Connectors
Terminal Pins

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Monitor CAN bus signals with oscilloscope to check for signal integrity, proper voltage levels, and wave form quality

2

Step 2: Measure voltage drop across CAN High and CAN Low circuits while wiggling harnesses to identify intermittent connections

3

Step 3: Check all CAN bus connector terminals for corrosion, looseness, or damage

4

Step 4: Verify termination resistance is within specification (58-62 ohms typically)

5

Step 5: Monitor freeze frame data to determine if performance issues occur under specific conditions

Estimated Repair Cost

$120 - $800

Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
