Signal Link Fault (Non SCP)

What Does U2015 Mean?

A fault exists in the communication signal link preventing proper data transmission between modules. This indicates a physical wiring issue affecting network communication integrity.

Common Causes

35%

Open circuit in one of the communication bus wires (CAN High or CAN Low)

Communication Wiring
CAN Bus Wire
Wiring Harness

30%

High resistance connection in communication bus circuit due to corrosion

Connector Terminals
Module Connector
Splice Connection

25%

Damaged wiring harness from rubbing, pinching, or rodent damage

Wiring Harness
Wire Insulation
Protective Conduit

10%

Failed splice or poor repair in communication wiring

Wire Splice
Repair Connector
Junction Block

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Measure resistance of CAN High and CAN Low to ground separately (should be approximately 60 ohms each on most systems)

2

Step 2: Check for voltage on both CAN High and CAN Low lines with ignition on (should show activity/fluctuation)

3

Step 3: Wiggle test all connectors and harnesses while monitoring communication to identify intermittent connections

4

Step 4: Trace communication wiring through harness looking for damaged, pinched, or repaired sections

5

Step 5: Use schematic to identify all connectors in affected communication circuit and inspect each thoroughly

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $1,000

Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
