U100087 — lost communication with the vehicle control unit
Quick answer
U100087 indicates that the battery management system lost communication with the vehicle control unit. The warning lamp lights and a fault code is stored.
What to check first
- Read all stored fault codes with a scan tool and deal with related codes first.
- Check whether other modules on the same network also report communication faults; one module offline can set codes in several others.
Can I still drive?
Have it inspected before further driving. If in doubt, park the car and ask a technician — a fault that limits power or shuts the high-voltage system down will not clear by itself.
