U0133Lost Communication With Active Roll Control Module

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U0133 indicates that the active roll control module, which drives hydraulic or electromechanical anti-roll bars to reduce body lean in corners, no longer answers on the bus. No manufacturer publicly ties U0133 to that module: Saab's 2011 9-5 list uses the number for its air suspension control module instead, so older vehicles may interpret it differently. Systems of this kind exist, for instance on the Bentley Bentayga, where the adaptive suspension unit J775 acts as master for the roll stabiliser units J924 (front axle) and J1096 (rear axle) and their software must match (TPI 2055643). Invalid roll-module data is U0434; suspension modules A and B lose contact under U0132 and U0139. Expect a chassis warning and noticeably more body roll.
