  1. U0100 Lost Communication With ECM/PCM A Critical

    The U0100 code means one or more modules in the vehicle stopped receiving messages from the engine computer over the data bus. Almost always the problem is not the computer itself but its power supply, its ground or the network wiring. It is a serious code: the vehicle may not start or may stall while driving, so do not drive it until it is checked.
