Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather Tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, wiring diagrams.
• Safety: Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts or shocks.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the wiring harnesses related to the modules indicated by the U-codes.
  2. Inspect for frayed wires, corrosion, or loose connections.
  3. Repair any damaged wiring by soldering or using appropriate connectors.
  4. Ensure all connectors are securely attached and free of moisture or debris.

3. Check and Replace Fuses

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the fuse box and identify fuses related to the affected modules.
  2. Remove the fuses and visually inspect for any blown fuses.
  3. Replace any blown fuses with the same amperage rating (refer to the owner's manual).

4. Testing Modules

• Sub-steps:
  1. Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  2. Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any persistent U-codes.
  3. If U-codes remain, further diagnose each affected module as indicated in the service manual.
