U053BInvalid Data Received From Image Processing Module A
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- Image processing modules evaluate camera data for assistance functions, and module A is the one most often named in service literature. GM's 2025 brake controller tables (25OBDG04A) check protection values and rolling counters in messages from the object fusion controller (EOCM); 3 errors in a window of 16 frames set U053B as Type C without MIL, and the test pauses outside 9 to 16 V. Ford's OBD summaries let the PCM store it, non-MIL, on Remote Park Assist and Auto Hitch programs. On the 2025 Maverick, IPMA software caused U053B:56 in the cluster (SSM 53385, update per SSM 54423). The 2025 Jeep Compass logs U053B 81 after a 12 V disconnect until the steering angle is relearned. GM's Lyriq bulletin PIC6500A lists it among codes held by the Lyriq camera processor. Lost communication is U023A.
