U014B Lost Communication With Hybrid/EV Battery Inductive Charging Module

ECU lost CAN communication with the inductive charging module (wireless charging of HV battery). A communication loss with this module breaks any function relying on its data — diagnostic tools may show 'no response' and dependent modules can fall into limp mode.

Is it safe to drive with U014B?

Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.

Common causes

  • Most likelyModule unpowered
  • Less likelyGateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
  • Less likelyCAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec

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
