What does it mean?
U1064 is a Network (CAN bus, module communications) fault code. It indicates: No Communication With Body Control Module .
Symptoms
- Several unrelated body systems stop working at once, such as lighting, wipers, central locking and interior lamps
- Central locking and remote key operation dead
- Warning lamps on across the cluster and multiple communication codes in other modules
- Vehicle may not start because the immobiliser function cannot be validated
- Interior lights staying on or refusing to come on
- Scan tool cannot find the body control module although other modules respond
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or failed relay in the body control module supply
- Water ingress into the module or its connectors, common where it is mounted low in the footwell or behind a kick panel
- Corroded or loose ground for the body control module
- Open circuit or short on the bus lines between the body module and the gateway
- Internal module failure after a voltage spike, jump start or water damage
- A short circuit in a body electrical accessory that has damaged an output driver inside the module
- Connector damage or pushed-back pins after previous work behind the dash
How to fix it
- Try to communicate with the body control module and note which other modules still respond, to separate a module fault from a whole-bus fault
- Check all fuses and relays in the body module supply, testing them under load rather than by eye
- Inspect the footwell and kick panel area for water ingress, which is a frequent cause, and dry the area completely
- Measure supply voltage and ground at the module connectors, using voltage drop tests
- Inspect the connectors for corrosion, pushed-back pins and damage from previous repairs
- Test the bus lines to the gateway for continuity, shorts to ground and shorts to battery voltage
- Isolate body accessory circuits one at a time to find a short that may have damaged the module
- Replace and program the body control module only after supply, ground, water ingress and bus integrity have all been addressed
