U0410Invalid Data Received From Fuel Pump Control Module

U0410 means the engine control module or another network module received invalid or missing data from the fuel pump control module over the vehicle's controller area network bus. The computer detected a communication fault, not necessarily a failed fuel pump, so the module may be offline, reporting implausible values, or the wiring between them may be compromised.

Symptoms you may notice

  • Illuminated check engine light or service vehicle soon message, often with no other symptoms
  • Crank but no start condition if the fuel pump control module stops commanding the pump
  • Engine stalls intermittently or loses power under load when communication drops out
  • Fuel gauge reading erratic, blank, or stuck at empty on vehicles that share data with the pump module
  • Reduced engine power or limp mode triggered by the engine control module when fuel data is invalid
  • No noticeable drivability change besides the warning light in many cases

Common causes, most likely first

  1. Damaged, corroded, or disconnected wiring or connector at the fuel pump control module
  2. Failed fuel pump control module, often due to water intrusion or internal circuit failure
  3. Blown fuse or poor ground connection supplying power to the fuel pump control module
  4. Controller area network bus wiring fault between the fuel pump control module and other modules
  5. Low or unstable battery voltage causing the module to drop offline intermittently
  6. Failed fuel pump causing excessive current draw that damages the control module
  7. Software or calibration issue in the fuel pump control module requiring reprogramming

How to diagnose and fix it

  1. Verify battery voltage and charge the battery if low, then clear the code and retest
  2. Inspect the fuel pump control module connector and wiring for corrosion, water intrusion, or loose pins
  3. Check all fuses and grounds that feed the fuel pump control module with a multimeter
  4. Measure controller area network bus voltage and resistance at the module connector to confirm bus integrity
  5. Swap in a known-good fuel pump control module or perform a module communication test with a scan tool
  6. Repair or replace damaged wiring and connectors, then clear codes and verify communication
  7. If the module is faulty, replace and reprogram it according to the manufacturer's procedure

What U0410 does not always mean

  • A U0410 code frequently appears after a low-voltage event such as a weak battery or jump start, and the module may recover fully once voltage is restored and codes are cleared.
  • Technicians often replace the fuel pump when the real fault is a corroded connector at the control module, so always inspect the module wiring before condemning the pump.
  • On some vehicles the fuel pump control module is part of the fuel pump assembly, while on others it is mounted separately under the rear seat or in the trunk, so location varies by make.
  • A failed fuel pump can draw excessive current and damage the control module, so replacing only the module without checking pump current draw can lead to a repeat failure.
  • Controller area network bus faults from other modules can corrupt fuel pump control module messages, so check for additional communication codes before focusing on the pump circuit.

Can I keep driving with U0410?

If the engine still starts and runs normally, you can drive to a repair shop, but avoid long trips and high-load driving because the fault can worsen and cause a stall. If the engine cranks but does not start or stalls repeatedly, stop driving and have the vehicle towed to prevent a safety hazard.
