U053CInvalid Data Received From Image Processing Module B
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- U053C is documented by GM on cars with Super Cruise. On the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq it could set at start-up and remain current for as long as half an hour, keeping Super Cruise unavailable; an ignition cycle cleared it in some cases only (PIC6500). Revision PIC6500A widened the list of codes stored by that module and told technicians not to replace the controller, and PIC6500B closed the case in 2024. For the 2026 range from Escalade and Tahoe to Lyriq, Vistiq and Sierra EV, PIC6607 through PIC6607B again state that a history U053C is unrelated to the real Super Cruise fault and must not lead to module replacement. Elsewhere module B is often a surround-view unit, as Ford's IPMB on Explorer and Aviator. Lost communication is U023B.
