My wife’s car is giving me a lot of codes. I bought an OBD reader and Forscan Lite because a helpful person suggested it. I have been looking at the codes and the functions or Forscan Lite.

It says the Powertrain module is not communicating, the ABS module is not communicating, the power steering module is not communicating, Audio control, instrument panel control, image processing etc

Does this look familiar to anyone? Someone suggested a thread where someone soldered a new ground wire to a pin connector under the drivers seat.

Can I try and reset these models to see if the problem fixes itself? Should I do the battery disconnect and try to reset everything?

I’m worried I’m going to mess something up. I hate the dealership around here, but I took it to my favorite shop and they were like this is a dealer problem.

I added some screen shots of my Forescan reader. Any advice, help, linked video or reading greatly appreciated.

Here are screenshots of the detailed error codes. Could it just be a loose wiring connector somewhere?

That's a lot of affected modules. Did you clear codes and see if they immediately come back? I check codes regularly. Seems that lost communication is quite common and not necessarily a thing to worry about. I usually reset codes and they don't come back immediately. A lot depends on if you get a dash warning and then look for a code. I would take those a little more seriously.

There are a bunch or dash warnings. I’m down to clear the codes and see what comes back up. I guess im looking for some reassurance that im not going to mess anything up messing around with the computer haha. Never had an OBD reader before
