What owners report
Excerpts of owner complaints in the original wording. Owner statements not verified by the regulator; personal data removed.
The dealer said I should not be concerned about the other codes. Diagnostic codes reported: B1A68 (0x76), U0101, U0102, U0131, U0140, U0146, U0151, U0155, U0265, U0422, U160F, U1610, U1611.
A professional diagnostic scan found AWD codes C0631:7E-68 and C0631:7F-6C related to the front axle disconnect actuator. The ABS module also stored U0102 (Lost Communication With Transfer Case Control Module) and U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster).
I have no recalls on my truck for this. I did have 2 codes when I was able to communicate with the module being U0155 and C2128. Most likely caused by water getting into a connector and shorting out.
