U0411Invalid Data Received From Drive Motor Control Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- U0411 is stored when a controller, typically the engine or hybrid controller, receives messages from the drive motor control module (the inverter electronics of an electric traction motor) that it judges invalid. Volkswagen lists it in its 2014 hybrid OBD charts: for the Touareg Hybrid on implausible messages from the motor module, for the Jetta Hybrid on an incorrect CAN data length code. Bentley's Flying Spur Hybrid (2022-2023) stores U041100 in the engine control unit with a warning lamp, partly together with P0A2E for the motor temperature sensor circuit, and has the technician measure and inspect a harness connector. U0110 means lost contact, U0311 a software mismatch. Hybrid drive may be limited or switched off.
