U101882 — vehicle control unit message counter error
Quick answer
U101882 indicates that the battery management system received a message with an invalid counter from the vehicle control unit. Power is limited to a limp-home level.
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.
