Canbus Electrical Gremlins

MrGTI house reference

Modern GTIs are a network of modules talking over CANbus, and when that communication is disturbed you get bizarre, multi-system gremlins — several warning lights at once, features dropping out, "U-codes" (U0xxx communication faults) — that look catastrophic but usually trace to something dull: low battery voltage, a bad ground, water, or one sick module dragging the bus down
