DTC codes / U04xx · Invalid data received from a module / U0496
The U0496 code indicates that a control module, typically the body control module (BCM) or a gateway module, has received invalid or missing data from the subscription entertainment receiver module over the vehicle's communication network. The computer detected that the expected data stream from the entertainment receiver is either absent, corrupted, or not formatted correctly, which can affect audio, navigation, and other infotainment functions.
Guidance is general and written for all OBD-II vehicles. Exact tests and values vary by model, so confirm the fault before replacing parts.
