Module Communication Trouble Codes: List & Fixes
Module communication codes, such as U0100 (lost communication with the engine control module) or U0121 (lost communication with the ABS module), mean a module did not receive expected messages on the data bus. Start with the basics: battery voltage, grounds, fuses and connectors, especially where water can get in. Aftermarket accessories spliced into the wiring can also disturb the network.

U0073
Network
A module saw so many errors on CAN bus A that it shut off its own transmitter.
High
U0100
Network
Another module stopped hearing from the engine computer on the CAN network.
High
U0121
Network
Other modules stopped receiving data from the ABS module, so ABS and stability control are off.
Moderate
U0001

A module found the high-speed CAN network itself misbehaving, not just one silent module.

U0101
Network
The engine computer and other modules stopped hearing from the transmission control module.
High
U0102
Network
Other modules can't hear the 4WD transfer case module, so 4WD shifting is disabled.
