U2105 on Saab vehicles indicates can bus — no communication with ecm/ecu (manufacturer-specific). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Saab model — most commonly on 9-3. U2105 is a manufacturer-specific CAN bus code that generally means a module reported no communication with the engine control module (ECM/ECU) over the network. When the ECM cannot be reached, engine-related coordination breaks down, which can cause drivability problems, no-start conditions, or multiple warning lights. Because it can affect the engine controller, it should be addressed promptly.

Common Causes of U2105

  • •ECM not powered (blown fuse, failed relay)
  • •Damaged or open CAN bus wiring to the ECM
  • •Faulty engine control module
  • •Loose or corroded ECM connector
  • •Poor ground or high-resistance ground
  • •Low or unstable battery voltage
  • •Module configuration / programming error

Saab 9-3(1 issue)

  • 9-3 Sunroof Drain Clog → Soaked Carpet → DICE/TWICE Module Failure2003-2011

    Second-gen 9-3 (2003-2011) sunroof drains clog with debris (pollen, leaves). Water then overflows into the headliner, runs down the A-pillars, soaks the carpet, and pools in the front footwell — directly under the DICE (Driver Information Central Electronics) and TWICE modules. Wet modules can short and cause a cascade of weird electrical faults (no-start, dead instrument cluster, ABS faults, etc.).
