Wat te doen

The car will lean more in corners than you are used to, and feel less settled at speed. It is safe to drive; just allow for it.

Your car has anti-roll bars it can stiffen and soften rather than fixed ones, and this code means the computer controlling them has stopped talking to the rest of the car. The system has defaulted to a fixed setting, so the car now handles like an ordinary one.

The reason this page exists is that the change gets blamed on the wrong thing. "The car has gone soft in corners" is normally investigated as worn shock absorbers, tired bushes or sagging springs — and those parts get replaced without fixing anything, because the suspension is fine. If this code is stored, say so before agreeing to any suspension work.

If your vehicle is one that disconnects its bars for off-road use, stop relying on that — it will lift a wheel earlier on uneven ground than you expect.

The usual causes are the wiring and connectors at the axles, which live in the road salt and flex with the suspension, or on hydraulic systems the pump's power supply.

Wat deze code betekent

The active roll control module has stopped being heard from. The general reasoning is at U0100, and U0434 covers the same module reporting implausibly instead.

Active roll control replaces a fixed anti-roll bar with one the vehicle can stiffen, soften or disconnect — hydraulically on older systems, with 48-volt electric actuators on newer ones. It exists because the two things an anti-roll bar has to do are in conflict: stiff enough to keep a tall vehicle flat through a corner is too stiff to let a wheel drop into a rut, and a controllable bar can be both.

When the module goes quiet the system defaults to a fixed state, and the vehicle reverts to behaving like one with ordinary anti-roll bars.

The consequence is a handling change rather than a failure, and it is worth naming because of how it gets diagnosed. The vehicle leans noticeably more in corners than its driver is used to, and feels less settled on a motorway. That is normally investigated as worn dampers, tired anti-roll bar bushes or dropped springs — parts that get replaced without changing anything, because the suspension is fine and the system that was flattening it has switched off.

So a stored roll control code alongside a "the car has gone soft" complaint is the cheap explanation, and it should be eliminated before anything is unbolted.

On the off-road side the loss runs the other way. A vehicle that decouples its bars for articulation cannot do so, so it lifts wheels earlier on uneven ground. That is a capability to stop relying on rather than a hazard.

Where the fault is: actuators and their wiring live at the axles, in the spray and salt, on harnesses that move with the suspension through their whole travel. Hydraulic systems add a pump and a pressure sensor whose supply is a common single point of failure.

Informatie, geen instructie

CarGeek is een naslagwerk, geen werkplaatshandboek. De pagina's zijn geschreven op basis van openbare bronnen en van wat anderen hebben ondervonden, nooit op basis van de servicedocumentatie van de fabrikant zelf, dus ze kunnen onjuist of onvolledig zijn voor jouw specifieke voertuig. Een deel van wat erin staat brengt echt gevaar met zich mee: hoogspanning, brandstof onder druk, opgeslagen energie en hete of bewegende delen.

Laat alles waarnaar je wilt handelen eerst controleren door iemand met een technische opleiding, aan de hand van de eigen procedure van de fabrikant voor jouw voertuig. Niets hier vervangt die procedure.

Hierover is nog niets geplaatst. Wat je ook hebt gevonden, het is het opschrijven waard — zelfs een doodlopend spoor bespaart iemand dezelfde middag.

Wat het de moeite waard maakt:

  • De auto — merk, model, bouwjaar en motor. Dezelfde storing gedraagt zich per auto anders.
  • Wat je gemeten hebt, niet alleen wat je vervangen hebt.
  • Wat het echt verholpen heeft — of dat niets dat deed, wat ook nuttig is om te weten.
