S2000 control unit communication error

I'm facing a perplexing issue with my 2000 Honda S2000, gasoline engine, at 204070 km. I'm encountering a control unit communication error. Symptoms include engine overheating, a persistent check engine light, and coolant spills due to excessive cooling system pressure. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone else experienced similar connectivity issues?

A control module communication error, eh? Is the diagnostic trouble code pointing to a specific data link? Might be a wiring issue somewhere. Have you checked the obvious plug connections?

Yes, I have inspected the plugs for corrosion and proper seating, but not with diagnostic gear. What data link would you suggest focusing on first?

If you have checked the obvious plug connections then that's a good step. Given the symptoms and communication error, sounds like it could be more than just a loose wire. Maybe you should take it to a workshop, the error might be more than just that.

It was as you suggested. I took the S2000 to a shop, and as it turns out, it was indeed a faulty connector. Repair cost was 95€ to get it sorted. Appreciate the insight!
