U067B: Lost Communication With Engine Disconnect Clutch Pressure Sensor
The vehicle bus reports loss of communication with smart engine disconnect clutch pressure sensor. Hybrid clutch engagement feedback is unavailable; mode transitions may be rougher.
What U067B means
U067B is a generic OBD-II network code in the lost communication group. In plain English: a control module stopped receiving messages from the Engine Disconnect Clutch Pressure Sensor on the vehicle’s data network.

Can I drive with U067B?
Not recommended beyond getting it to a shop.
This fault can put the engine or transmission in limp mode with reduced power, which can make merging and passing unsafe. Have it diagnosed as soon as possible.
Why we rate it urgent
- Can put the vehicle in limp mode (reduced power)
- Turns on the check engine light
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a repair
Severity is our rule-based rating from the code’s flags in OBDex and the system it affects, not an inspection of your car. If the check engine light is flashing, or you notice overheating, low oil pressure, or brake or steering problems, stop driving and get help.
How to diagnose U067B
- 1
Confirm the code and save freeze-frame data
Read the codes with an OBD-II scan tool and note every code, not just U067B. Save the freeze-frame data (speed, load, temperature when the fault set) before clearing anything; it tells you when the fault happens.
- 2
Fix other faults first
If other codes are stored, start with power-supply, sensor-circuit and communication codes. They can cause this code as a side effect.
- 3
Check module power, ground and the data bus
Confirm the module named in the code has battery voltage, ignition feed and a good ground. With the battery disconnected, a healthy CAN bus usually measures about 60 ohms between CAN-High and CAN-Low at the OBD port. Inspect connectors for corrosion and pushed-out pins.
- 4
Test the likely causes in order
Start with the most likely cause and work down: Bus wiring open or shorted; module without power or ground; module failed. Test before replacing parts.
- 5
Check for recalls and service bulletins
Look up recalls for your exact vehicle with its VIN, and ask a dealer about technical service bulletins (TSBs). Manufacturers sometimes issue software updates or extended warranties for known faults.
- 6
Clear the code and verify the repair
After the repair, clear the code and complete a full drive cycle (cold start, idle, steady highway cruise, deceleration). The code is fixed when the related readiness monitor completes without it returning.

U067B FAQ
What does U067B mean?
U067B means “Lost Communication With Engine Disconnect Clutch Pressure Sensor”. The vehicle bus reports loss of communication with smart engine disconnect clutch pressure sensor. Hybrid clutch engagement feedback is unavailable; mode transitions may be rougher.
Is U067B serious? Can I keep driving?
We rate U067B as urgent severity. Not recommended beyond getting it to a shop. This fault can put the engine or transmission in limp mode with reduced power, which can make merging and passing unsafe. Have it diagnosed as soon as possible.
What causes U067B?
The most common causes, from most to least likely: Bus wiring open or shorted; Module without power or ground; Module failed. Test before replacing parts, because several causes can set the same code.
How much does it cost to fix U067B?
Typical labor is about $125–$625 at an assumed $125/hour shop rate, plus parts. That is an estimate, not a quote: labor times and rates vary by vehicle and region, and diagnosis may be billed separately.
Can I fix U067B myself?
DIY difficulty is hard. Most owners leave this to a shop because it needs involved testing or specialist tools. Always confirm the cause before buying parts.
Will U067B clear itself?
Once the fault is fixed, the check engine light usually goes off by itself after the system passes its self-test over several drive cycles. Clearing the code with a scan tool resets readiness monitors, so an inspection station may turn you away until a full drive cycle is completed.
