U0125Lost Communication With Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor Module A

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U0125 concerns the inertial measurement unit that bundles yaw rate plus lateral and longitudinal acceleration on one bus node. GM uses the code widely: the 2019 XT4 brake controller (EBCM) flags a missing IMU frame after 0.1 s, the 2025 object-detection module after 0.05 s and then disables adaptive cruise; both are Type C without MIL. Saab's 9-5 list adds symptom bytes 71, 72 and 74 for invalid data, wrong message counter and checksum. Field cases: a broken wire at connector X411 under the left rear (Equinox/Terrain, PIT5171B) and an EBCM reflash for 2020 Equinox (N192285670). Stellantis calls the part Dynamics Sensor. U0123/U0124 name single-axis modules instead.
What you may notice
  • Service ESC / StabiliTrak message, traction and ABS lamps
  • Adaptive cruise control or all-wheel drive unavailable
  • Electric parking brake warning on some models
Likely causes
  • LikelyWire broken inside the insulation or rubbed through near a chassis connector (GM X411)
  • PossibleLoose or corroded plug at the inertial sensor
  • PossibleBrake controller software that drops the sensor (reflash released)
  • RareMulti-axis sensor internally faulty
