What does error code no bu5 mean on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
The bus is the communication system between the computers on the vehicle. No bus means the system is not functioning. Causes include any computer, wiring in between, fuses, connectors,
You can read no bu5 in your odometer area in my 1999 Jeep Wrangler what does this mean?
When I turn my jeep on. While I was bleeding my brake line this came over my odometer in my dash board.
What does Bu5 mean on the odometer screen and the panel instruments do not work?
It's meant to read "BUS", referring to the data bus( the wiring loom) that modern cars use to communicate between the various parts. You've got a loose connection somewhere.
Why would error no bu5 come on a dodge stratus 2000?
It's a common error especially after the battery has been disconnected or gone completely dead. It usually means that the computer needs to be reset. You may need to take it to the dealer or a knowledgeable shop.
Why would a 1999 dodge durango die without waning?
It's probably a bad Powertrain Control Module (Main Computer). This is a note from one of my previous posts; Have you noticed the odometer display saying NO BU5? This actually means "no Bus", a communication term for a data route. It is saying that the dashboard sub-computer is not communicating with the main computer (PCM) which is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, bolted just above the wheel well area. Check the 3 connectors to see if they are plugged in all the way. If they are, your PCM is probably bad (mine lasted 90k miles). This is something you can't replace yourself because the new one must be programmed with the mileage and VIN and other info by MOPAR before it's installed. Be careful, because when the PCM fails, your money pit (Durango) will start to suddenly stall at the worst times (Freeway, Boat launch, stop light on a one lane road) and not restart until you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect. Good luck! The dealer charged me $800 to replace mine. $500 for the part and $300 to diagnose the problem. And I told them it was a bad PCM when I brought it in. P.S. Even if it's not giving the odometer indication, suspect the PCM. I didn't notice the "NO BU5" indication right away when the thing would kill on the highway.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and console warning lights came on and all gauges turned off and lights came on and the AC stopped blowing cold air and error no bu5 came on where mileage is located?
Found my problem after checking battery and alternator charge, all fuses, secure connections to conssole from fuse box and removing negative battery post to reset computer. Although it wasn't touched when the problem arose, apparently by barely turning the key back towards the off position problem solved. Must be ignition going bad and I will worry about that later. Good luck if you have the same problem.

UPDATE: PCM's are now available on ebay, and they can be programmed by the seller. You'll save lots of money over the dealer.
What is fault code no BU5 on a Dodge Durango?
This fault code appears in the odometer display (at least it did on mine). It's actually "no bus" as in no communication "bus" (a computer term for a data route). What it is saying is that the dashboard sub-computer is not communicating with the main computer (PCM) which is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, bolted just above the wheel well area. Check the 3 connectors to see if they are plugged in all the way. If they are, your PCM is probably bad (mine lasted 90k miles). This is something you can't replace yourself because the new one must be programmed with the milage and VIN and other info by MOPAR before it's installed. Be careful, because when the PCM fails, your money pit (Durango) will start to suddenly stall at the worst times (Freeway, Boat launch, stop light on a one lane road) and not restart until you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect. Good luck! The dealer charged me $800 to replace mine. $500 for the part and $300 to diagnose the problem. And I told them it was a bad PCM when I brought it in. No need to go to a dealership if it is the PCM... you can purchase refurbs on the web from $199 and all you have to do is supply the VIN, milage and a couple of other things so that it can be programmed correctly and sent back to you so that you can install yourself... some sites also offer a warranty benefit if you send your old unit in for remanufacture. Just use a search engine with key words like "2002 Dodge Durango, PCM" Ted
