U0064

Vehicle Communication Bus E

Communication / CAN bus Generic OBD-II Medium

What it means

U0064 is a general fault for Vehicle Communication Bus E, meaning the module network labeled Bus E isn't communicating correctly. Bus E is a manufacturer-defined network, so what's affected varies by vehicle. The powertrain often keeps running, but modules on Bus E can drop offline and set warning lights until the fault is found.

Medium

Can I keep driving? Depends on which modules use Bus E — the car often still drives, but any feature on that bus can drop out, so check that your gauges and safety systems respond.
