32 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

1What it means in plain English

2Common causes

Wiring or connector fault on the communication bus
Faulty control module

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

The car may run normally or may not run at all. If the module that has lost communication controls steering, brakes, park brake, charging or engine cooling, drive only if those systems feel normal; stop safely if the steering becomes heavy, a brake warning appears, or the engine temperature climbs. If the car will not start or runs badly, have it towed.
