How to resolve fault code u010087?

Check the steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil cup filter screen, and steering oil, then clean the entire power steering system. The pump is dirty; it's essential to clean both the inside and outside of the power steering pump and oil pipes, and bleed the air from the steering system as specified. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and adjust the engine performance.
I just encountered the U010087 fault code, which typically indicates a control module communication issue, such as signal loss from the engine or transmission module. Common causes include loose wiring, corroded connectors, module software bugs, or unstable battery voltage. You should first check if the vehicle's battery terminals are tight, as poor connections can affect communication; then inspect the main wiring harness connectors for oxidation or damage, especially in the CAN bus area. Use a diagnostic tool to scan for details and identify which module is affected by the error. If the code keeps recurring, the root cause might be a module failure requiring replacement. From my personal experience, cleaning connection points during regular maintenance can prevent such issues. If this fault occurs while driving, it can lead to unstable performance, such as acceleration lag, so get it checked as soon as possible to ensure safety. Don’t ignore it, as it could lead to more severe engine or transmission system failures.
