U0107

The U0107 diagnostic trouble code indicates lost communication with throttle actuator control module. This means one or more control modules on the vehicle's communication network are unable to exchange data properly. Network communication faults can affect multiple vehicle systems simultaneously and may cause various warning lights, reduced functionality, or driveability issues depending on which modules are affected. This guide covers everything you need to know about this topic, including common causes, step-by-step solutions, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Here are the key things to understand: HVAC system not responding. Vehicle enters limp mode with reduced power. Loss of power steering assist. Multiple warning lights illuminated simultaneously. Understanding these fundamentals will help you diagnose and resolve this issue more effectively.

The most common reasons this occurs include: Low battery voltage or failing alternator. CAN bus terminating resistor failure. Failed control module (ECM, TCM, BCM, etc.). Software glitch requiring module reprogramming. Identifying the root cause is the first step toward finding the right solution.

To resolve this, follow these recommended steps: Connect an OBD-II scanner and read all stored trouble codes across all modules. Check for multiple U-codes which indicate a bus-level problem vs single module failure. Inspect battery voltage and charging system (12.4V+ engine off, 13.5-14.5V running). Inspect the CAN bus wiring for damage, chafing, or exposed conductors. Check the affected module connector for corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion. Verify module power and ground circuits with a multimeter. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider consulting additional resources or a qualified professional.
