U055BInvalid Data Received From Special Purpose Vehicle Control Module B

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U055B concerns the second slot reserved for special purpose controllers. A receiving module gets frames from controller B, but a signal lies outside its permitted span, a counter or checksum is wrong, or the frame length does not match. No manufacturer documents U055B publicly. How freely these slots are filled shows in Deutz's engine controller for off-highway machines, which reports a timeout of its tractor-trailer bridge under U0259, the lost-communication code of slot A. On road vehicles slot B mainly matters when a conversion carries more than one add-on controller, for example separate units for warning lights and for body hydraulics. U025A is the lost-communication counterpart. Only the conversion equipment is normally affected.
