Was zu tun ist

Before driving anywhere, have somebody stand behind the car while you use the brakes, the indicators, the hazards, the lights and reverse gear.

On most cars this code names the computer at the back, which runs the rear lights, the rear wiper, the heated rear screen and the boot lock. The reason to check is that you cannot see any of it from the driver's seat, and driving with no brake lights is genuinely dangerous rather than merely inconvenient. In most places it is also illegal.

Then look under the boot floor, where the spare wheel lives. These modules sit in the wettest part of the car, and standing water there — from an aged tailgate seal, a blocked drain channel, or a rear light gasket that has gone hard — is the commonest cause of this fault by a wide margin. Finding water is more useful than any test, and drying and sealing it is the actual repair.

One more free check if the fault comes and goes: open and close the tailgate slowly and see whether anything changes. The wiring runs through the hinge and flexes every time, and it breaks inside insulation that still looks perfect.

Otherwise, ask for the fuses and relays nearest the dead area to be checked first.

Was dieser Code bedeutet

A body control module has stopped being heard from. See U0141 for the supply argument and U0443 for what the letters mean.

On most vehicles carrying this many body modules, D is at the back, and that changes both what stops working and what should be checked.

A rear zone module typically operates the light clusters, the number plate lamps, the rear wiper and washer, the heated rear screen, the boot or tailgate lock and, on a powered tailgate, its motor and pinch protection. So a single silent module takes out a set of things that look unrelated and are all at the same end of the vehicle.

The safety point comes first and it is the reason this page is not merely inconvenient. Every light this module operates is invisible from the driver's seat. A headlight that fails announces itself on the first dark road; brake lights that have stopped announce themselves to nobody. Have somebody stand behind the vehicle and work through the brake pedal, the indicators, the hazards, the lights and reverse gear before driving anywhere — it takes a minute and it is the whole of the urgency here.

Then the diagnosis. The rear of a vehicle is its wettest structural region: tailgate seals age, drain channels fill with leaf litter, and a light cluster gasket that has hardened lets water into the boot floor rather than outside it. Lift the boot floor and look under the spare wheel — standing water there explains this code and a great deal else.

And the harness through a tailgate hinge flexes exactly like a door boot and fails the same way, with the same free test: does it change as the tailgate is moved.

CarGeek ist ein Nachschlagewerk, kein Werkstatthandbuch. Die Seiten entstehen aus öffentlichen Quellen und aus dem, was andere festgestellt haben, nie aus den Serviceunterlagen des Herstellers; für Ihr konkretes Fahrzeug können sie daher falsch oder unvollständig sein. Ein Teil des Beschriebenen birgt echte Gefahren: Hochspannung, Kraftstoff unter Druck, gespeicherte Energie sowie heiße oder bewegte Teile.

Lassen Sie alles, wonach Sie handeln wollen, von einer fachlich geschulten Person anhand der herstellereigenen Vorgehensweise für Ihr Fahrzeug prüfen. Nichts hiervon ersetzt diese Vorgehensweise.

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.
