U0017: CAN-Kommunikationsbus Medium-Speed — (−) hoch

Was zu tun ist

This is one of the faults that can damage things rather than just stopping them — full battery voltage has got onto a network wire. Be prepared for the repair to have two stages, as at U0005.

One thing you may be able to tell the garage is worth more than any test they can do.

Does the fault appear only when something power-hungry is switched on? The heated rear screen, the stereo at volume, a heated seat, the powered tailgate.

If so, say exactly that. "It only does it with the heated rear screen on" sounds like nonsense and is a precise description of a bad earth connection shared with the network wiring — and it is a cheap fix that is very hard to find without that clue.

Where those bad earths come from is usually something fitted after the car was built. An installer needs an earth as well as a live, and the earth is the half people treat as unimportant — a self-tapping screw into a painted boot floor, or a bolt shared with a seat belt anchor. Mention anything that has been fitted, and ask for its earth connection to be checked as well as its power feed.

Was dieser Code bedeutet

The negative line of the medium speed data bus is being held high. See U0005 for the module-damage warning and U0008 for why the earth side of an accessory installation reaches this conductor first.

That last point is worth repeating on this bus because it is where accessories actually get earthed.

An installer needs an earth as well as a live, and the earth is the half treated as unimportant — a self-tapper into a boot floor, a bolt shared with a seat belt anchor or a seat rail, a body panel that is painted and only conducts because the screw bit through it.

A poor earth does not stay at zero volts. It floats up under load — and where it is bundled with the bus pair, that voltage appears on the conductor nearest it.

Which produces a fault worth recognising: one that appears only when something heavy is switched on. A rear screen heater, an amplifier at volume, a powered tailgate, a heated seat. "It only does it when the heated rear screen is on" sounds like nonsense and is an exact description of a shared bad earth, and a driver who has noticed that pattern has done the hardest part of the diagnosis.

So ask for accessory earth points to be inspected, not only their live feeds, and expect the U0005 possibility that a module was damaged.

Was einen Bericht lesenswert macht:

  • Das Fahrzeug — Marke, Modell, Baujahr und Motor. Derselbe Fehler verhält sich auf jedem anders.
  • Was Sie gemessen haben, nicht nur, was Sie getauscht haben.
  • Was es tatsächlich behoben hat — oder dass nichts es behoben hat, was ebenso nützlich ist.
