U0158Lost Communication With Head Up Display

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U0158 means the head-up display, which projects speed, navigation arrows or warnings into the windscreen, has stopped answering the module that supervises it, usually the instrument cluster. GM lists it in the Saab 9-5 (2011) U-code table and covers it in bulletin 22-NA-113: on 2020-2022 Cadillac CT4/CT5 with RPO UV6 the cluster stores U0158 when LIN messages arrive at an awkward moment while the HUD enters standby, leaving it blank until reset; the fix is a cluster reflash and pulling the HUD fuse. Stellantis notes for the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL and the 2024-25 Charger/Wagoneer S that the cluster may log it when leaving transport mode; clearing is enough there. U0459 covers implausible HUD data. No MIL.
