U05AA: Invalid Data Received From Charge Air Cooler Coolant Pump

Standardized SAE J2012 code · U05xx codes

What does U05AA mean?

A receiving module detected implausible data from the charge air cooler (intercooler) coolant pump. Pump speed or flow values fail plausibility checks and are rejected.

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 U05AA on the same make and model first.
