What Does U0060 Mean?
This code indicates an open circuit in the negative wire of communication bus D. The bus cannot complete its circuit path, disrupting network communications between modules.
Common Causes
35%
Broken or severed wire in the CAN D- line
30%
Corroded or damaged connector terminals on bus D- circuit
20%
Faulty control module with internal open circuit on bus pin
10%
Physical damage to harness from road debris or collision
5%
Manufacturing defect or poor solder joint in wiring harness
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Measure resistance on CAN D- circuit with all modules disconnected; should indicate open circuit
2
Step 2: Perform continuity test along entire CAN D- wire from one termination point to the other
3
Step 3: Inspect all connectors for bent pins, corrosion, or terminals backed out of housings
4
Step 4: Use wiring diagram to systematically isolate faulty section by reconnecting modules in groups
5
Step 5: Check for proper termination resistance (60 ohms) between CAN D+ and CAN D- when circuit is intact
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $800
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
This code indicates an open circuit in the negative wire of communication bus D. The bus cannot complete its circuit path, disrupting network communications between modules.
The most common cause of U0060 (Vehicle Communication Bus D (-) Open) is: Broken or severed wire in the CAN D- line
Typical repair costs for U0060 range from $150 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Loss of network communication may disable safety systems including ABS, stability control, and airbags. Vehicle may not start or enter limp mode with limited functionality.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to U0060 to identify the root cause.
