U0243Lost Communication With Parking Assist Control Module B

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
Parking assist module B is a second parking controller beside the main one, which J2012 covers with U0159. Stellantis uses the code by name: on 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022–2023 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer the cluster and the module listed as ETM store U0243-00 for lost contact with the central vision park assist module (CVPAM), which handles the surround view cameras, while body, steering and blind spot modules log U0159 (case S2208000172). Customers see a blue screen in the camera views. The first step is to pull fuse F48 (10 A) for five seconds so the module restarts; software arrived through recall 56A. Stellantis adds that the scan tool shows the CVPAM as PAM. Without module B, camera views and parking aids drop out; driving is unaffected. Data errors from B are U0544.
