The DTC u1000 is Fault with the CAN communications on the vehicle, I would presume one of your nodes are killing the CANbus.
If it's a hard Fault I would recommend monitoring the CANbus, you can use the OBD connector for this and ensure CANH and CANL are around 2.5volts. It should be a straight line with Communication packages flowing. If the CANbus is all over the place I would recommend pulling each node out one by one (Ie EPS, BCM, ECM etc... )
This will generate faults on your car so make sure you have a diagnostic kit to keep clearing them. But I would start with the EPS system, you can remove the upper dash cover and get access to the EPS connectors. I know the EPS had this as a Fault around 2003 and 2004.
I can send some pictures if you want.
Where are you located. ?
