U043B: Invalid Data Received From Front Distance Range Sensor — Left

Standardized SAE J2012 code · U04xx — Invalid data received

What does U043B mean?

A receiving module detected implausible data from the front-left distance range sensor (corner radar). Distance/azimuth values fail plausibility checks and are rejected by ADAS functions.

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 internal fault or sensor input drift
  • Medium Software version mismatch after replacement
  • Low Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.

Add your car to see reports of U043B on the same make and model first.
