U0112 Lost Communication with Battery Energy Control Module "B"

The Battery Energy Control Module "B" has stopped transmitting on the vehicle data bus, so other control units no longer receive its messages. The second battery-energy controller is silent, limiting high-voltage system availability. Typical causes are loss of power or ground at the module, an open or shorted CAN/LIN bus wire, a connector fault, or an internal module failure.
