Generic electrical fault on the anode multifunction valve. This valve combines shut-off, pressure regulation and recirculation control on the hydrogen side.
Medium severity. Can I keep driving?It depends on which control module has dropped out. If it affects the engine, brakes, or steering, do not continue your trip: call for roadside assistance.
Symptoms
- Multiple warning lights may illuminate
- Affected modules may go into limp mode or shut down
- Specific functions inoperative depending on module
- Diagnostic tools may show communication faults
Most likely causes
- Valve actuator failed
- Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
- CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec
What to check, in order
Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.
Good to know
- Repair difficulty: hard
- It can trigger limp mode.
What each character of U3568 means
- U: Communication network
- 3: Generic code: same on every make
- 5: Subsystem depends on the code range
- 68: Specific fault in that system
