U011A: Lost Communication With Exhaust Gas Sensor Module A
Standardized SAE J2012 code · U01xx — Lost communication with modules
What does U011A mean?
ECU lost CAN communication with exhaust gas sensor module A (often integrates wide-range O2/NOx sensors).
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Symptoms
- Multiple warning lights may illuminate
- Affected modules may go into limp mode or shut down
- Specific functions inoperative depending on module
- Diagnostic tools may show communication faults
Common causes
- High Module unpowered
- Low Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
- Low CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec
Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
