How the car detects it
U0056 says Vehicle Communication Bus D works, but its traffic is disturbed. Bentley documents it for the Continental GT (2018-20), GTC (2019-20) and Flying Spur (2020): U005600 with symptom numbers 12689537, 12689541 or 12689542 lands in the chassis control unit (address 0074) or in roll control systems 1 and 2 (00D4, 00D5). Bus D is a private CAN there, and its errors pull in a series of suspension codes; the driver sees a red or yellow suspension lamp and a dynamic ride fault message. Bentley has technicians check the connectors and harness of the three units, then update the chassis control software, or replace the unit if it is on another software level. A production change came with a software update. Elsewhere, loose contacts or a resetting node are the usual causes.
