Communication complaint occurs only with an accessory plugged into the diagnostic socket

Tell the assessor what accessory was connected and why. Do not leave unknown devices attached during diagnosis without disclosure. A change when it is present is useful evidence, not a complete diagnosis of the vehicle network.

What to tell us

  • Accessory identity.
  • Connection purpose.
  • Observed difference.

Before arranging work

Communication diagnosis needs the complete report, affected functions and operating state. A missing response can have several explanations. Do not bridge network wiring or repeatedly disconnect controllers as an owner-level experiment.

Ask AXION about this fault. Send the vehicle details and the information above. Please agree an appointment or postal assessment with us before travelling or sending a module.
