About U2005

U2005 is a generic (obd-ii standard) network communication diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the U-prefix family of codes, which covers inter-module network communication (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, or similar) faults.

Scanning & clearing: Network (U) codes report communication faults between modules. When diagnosing U-codes, checking the vehicle's CAN bus integrity, supply/ground at each module, and reading all modules for related faults is usually the first step.

Because U2005 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

This DTC is stored by the Audio Control Module when it stops receiving responses from the rear integrated control panel unit over the control network, usually a LIN bus or low speed CAN.

The code sets when the panel fails to answer polling or status messages within a calibrated time. Rear passengers may find their controls dead or unresponsive while the front controls still work...
