That is a network communication diagnostic trouble code.
Generally, U0037 is defined as: Vehicle Communication Bus "B" Performance/Turn-off.
On a modern Bosch MD1CS012 ECU (commonly found on newer 1.5L diesel Renault/Dacia/Nissan applications), this code indicates an issue with one of the vehicle's secondary communication networks. It usually means there is excessive noise on the bus, or a module on that specific network is failing to wake up or go to sleep properly, preventing the bus from entering the correct state.
Here is where I would start troubleshooting:
Battery Health: This is critical for U-codes. A weak battery or poor grounds can easily trigger false communication errors during engine cranking or shutdown. Test the battery under load.
full vеrsiоn Vehicle Scan: Don't just look at the engine ECU. Scan every module in the car. Are other modules reporting lost communication, or is a specific module totally unresponsive? The MD1CS012 might just be reporting that another module on "Bus B" (often a body control module, instrument cluster, or sometimes AdBlue system depending on the architecture) is acting up.
Physical Inspection: Check the main connectors on the MD1CS012 ECU for any signs of water ingress, pushed-back pins, or corrosion.
Wiring Diagram: You will likely need the specific wiring diagram for the vehicle to identify exactly which CAN or LIN lines constitute "Bus B" on that specific application to test termination resistance and voltage.
To give you more specific information beyond what I posted above, I need to know exactly what vehicle you are working on.

What actual symptoms does the car have? (e.g., won't start, limp mode, dashboard like a Christmas tree, specific functions not working).
Regarding DTC OFF:
I strongly advise against deleting network communication codes (U-codes) like U0037 in the file.
Turning off the DTC does not fix the problem. You have a physical issue with the wiring, a faulty module on that bus, or a power/ground issue. If you just delete the code, the communication bus will still be broken, and the vehicle will likely still have major operational problems. You need to find the root cause and fix it properly.
