Yes, U0058 can be very serious. CAN bus faults can disable critical vehicle systems including engine, transmission, ABS, and airbags. It should be diagnosed immediately.

Can I drive with U0058?

Driving with U0058 is not recommended if safety-critical modules (ABS, SRS, power steering) are affected. The vehicle may have reduced functionality.

Will U0058 clear itself?

U0058 may clear if the fault is intermittent, but it will likely return if the underlying wiring or module issue is not resolved. Use a scan tool to monitor pending and confirmed codes.

U0058 - CAN Bus Communication Bus Wake-Up Signal Open

U0058 is a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the Network Communication (U) category. It indicates can bus communication bus wake-up signal open. These codes relate to the vehicle's onboard communication network (CAN bus, LIN bus, etc.) and module-to-module data exchange. When U0058 is set, it means one or more control modules have detected a communication fault, data integrity issue, or software incompatibility on the vehicle network.

What is U0058?

U0058 is a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the Network Communication (U) category. It indicates can bus communication bus wake-up signal open. These codes relate to the vehicle's onboard communication network (CAN bus, LIN bus, etc.) and module-to-module data exchange.

When U0058 is set, it means one or more control modules have detected a communication fault, data integrity issue, or software incompatibility on the vehicle network.

Common Symptoms

Check Engine Light on
Communication errors on scan tool
Multiple modules not responding
Intermittent electrical issues
Warning lights on dashboard

Possible Causes

Damaged CAN bus wiring (open, short, high resistance)
Corroded or loose connectors
Failed CAN bus terminating resistor
Faulty control module on bus
Electromagnetic interference

Step-by-Step Diagnosis

Connect a professional-grade OBD2 scanner and check for all active and pending U-codes.
Identify which modules are communicating and which are not.
Check power, ground, and communication wiring for the CAN Bus Communication Bus Wake-Up Signal Open using a wiring diagram.
Perform a voltage drop test on power and ground circuits to the affected module.
Check CAN bus resistance (should be ~60 ohms between CAN-High and CAN-Low).
Use a scan tool to monitor live data from modules that are still communicating.
Perform a wiggle test on wiring harnesses while monitoring for communication recovery.
If a module replacement is suspected, verify correct part number and programming requirements.
Clear codes and retest after repairs.

Recommended Repairs

Repair any damaged wiring, connectors, or terminals. Ensure proper routing and secure mounting.
Clean corroded connector pins with electrical contact cleaner.
Replace blown fuses and verify correct amperage rating.
If a module requires programming, ensure it is done with the correct software version.
Update or reflash module software if a TSB applies.
Replace failed control module if testing confirms internal failure.
Verify all repairs by checking module communication with a scan tool.
