U0148Lost Communication With Gateway C

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
U0148 reports that the third gateway, Gateway C, has gone silent. A gateway links separate bus segments (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and forwards messages between them, so when it drops out, every module behind it disappears too. GM's procedure for U0100-U02FF explains the mechanism: listeners expect a periodic state-of-health message and log the missing sender once it fails to arrive at 9-16 V. No manufacturer documents U0148 publicly; GM's U-code list contains only U0146 for its serial data gateway. Unlike U0146 and U0147 for gateways A and B, or U0149 and U0150 for D and E, this code names the C unit, whose role differs by maker. Often several other U-codes appear at once; MIL usually off.
