U0428Invalid Data Received From Steering Angle Sensor Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- U0428 is for a separately networked steering angle sensor module, usually on the column, feeding angle and rate to stability control, assistance and stop-start. GM's 2025 brake module counts wrong checksums or counters in its frames (8 of a 16 window) and reacts at once to a cleared validity bit or a data mask stuck at zero, all Type C without MIL. Where the angle comes from the steering gear, GM files a similar data mask fault under U0420. Mitsubishi's 2019 Outlander PHEV sets U0428 in the PHEV-ECU on a failed sensor signal; after the CAN check and data item 333 it asks for calibration and a steering angle offset reset. Jeep cured U0428 with MIL and early engine stops in stop-start on the 2017 Cherokee 3.2 L by PCM software (18-013-17). Audi fixes U042800 on dynamic steering by software (2049656/1). U0126 is lost contact.
