U0477Invalid Data Received From Restraints System Sensor G

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U0477 concerns restraints sensor G, whose messages arrive but are judged invalid; U0176 is lost contact. In Chrysler's lists from NHTSA investigation PE11-019, G names the second satellite on the right flank, an acceleration sensor with internal fault B1B76, and appears only on the six-sensor Compass and Patriot. What invalid data look like in practice is spelled out in Aston Martin's restraint control module manual: for the right C-pillar sensor of the Rapide it separates a dead line, Manchester or parity errors, readings outside the measuring range and plausibility faults, and often suspects a sensor with the wrong part number. Manchester bit coding with a parity bit is the PSI5 frame format. Airbag lamp on, no MIL.
