U0095Vehicle Communication Bus H (+) Low

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
U0095 indicates that the (+) wire of Vehicle Communication Bus H is held too low, usually through a ground short (CAN-High on a CAN). No public manufacturer document uses U0095. The effect depends heavily on the bus type. On a high-speed CAN, onsemi found that no frame can be sent with CAN-High grounded; the stuck node kept retrying in short bursts, its transmit line active only about 2 % of the time, and the supply current fell to about 50 mA. Repeated failures end in bus off, which would add U007A. NXP's fault-tolerant TJA1055, by contrast, copes with a grounded CANH without even leaving differential reception. The same code can therefore mean a dead network on one car and an unnoticed defect on another.
What you may notice
  • On high-speed CAN: all Bus H modules fail together
  • On fault-tolerant CAN: little or no noticeable effect
Likely causes
  • Likely(+) wire chafed against the body
  • PossibleHarness pinched during a repair or installation
  • RareFaulty transceiver holding the (+) line low
Repair
