These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

Evidence: Bosch eBike Systems — official fault code 112100
- What the official step decidesPossible
If “Your control unit has a communication error.” clears after Bosch's exact step, only the current condition has cleared; no failed part has been proved. If 112100 returns, the documented user branch is exhausted and the recurrence becomes the evidence for service.
