Can a bad battery cause electrical codes?

Yes, a weak or failing battery can cause voltage drops that affect various modules and sensors, potentially triggering multiple codes. Always check battery health and charging system first.

How much do electrical repairs cost?

Electrical repairs range from $75 for a simple connector fix to $400+ for wiring harness repairs or module replacements. ECM/PCM replacement can cost $500-$1,500 including programming.

U0235

Lost Communication with Bluetooth Module

Lowelectrical

Overview

The U0235 code indicates a lost communication with bluetooth module condition on the vehicle's communication network. This diagnostic trouble code means that one or more control modules are unable to communicate over the CAN bus or other vehicle networks. Communication failures can cause multiple systems to malfunction simultaneously and should be diagnosed promptly to restore proper vehicle operation.

Symptoms

Intermittent electrical failures
Vehicle going into limp mode or reduced power
Erratic gauge readings
Multiple warning lights on dashboard

Common Causes

Corroded or damaged wiring connectors
Internal module software error
Faulty alternator/generator
Faulty engine control module (ECM/PCM)

Diagnosis Steps

1Connect an OBD-II scanner and read all stored trouble codes and freeze frame data
2Check battery voltage and charging system output with a multimeter
3Inspect wiring and connectors related to the trouble code
4Test circuit voltage, ground, and resistance with a multimeter
5Check related fuses and relays

Estimated Repair Cost

$75 — $400
