U0507Invalid Data Received From Folding Top Control Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- The folding top control module runs the power soft top or retractable hardtop of a convertible: it moves the top through hydraulics or motors, watches latch and position sensors and blocks the sequence when something is in the way. Other units need its status, for example to drop the windows, warn while driving or release the trunk lid. U0507 is logged when that status arrives in an unusable form. BMW shows how much hinges on clean data: in 16,286 convertibles of the 4 Series built 2013–2015, the CVM misread luggage compartment sensors due to software, which could defeat obstruction detection and damage the hydraulics (SI B54 02 17, reprogramming). No maker publishes U0507 itself. U0206 means no contact.
