U3500Control Module Input Power A Circuit Range/Performance

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
U3500 says that supply input A of a module is present but its voltage is implausible, for example outside the window expected for the current power mode or contradicting other measurements, without clearly passing a lower or upper limit. It thus sits between U3006, which reports a missing or open feed, and the hard limit codes U3501 and U3502. Which pin is A is up to the manufacturer; in GM's electric brake booster tables (2016–2019 hybrid) A is the module's own logic and CAN supply, watched for under 7.5 V and over 16 V, but GM uses only the Low and High codes there. No manufacturer documents U3500 publicly. Typical causes are a high-resistance contact that sags under load, a poor ground or a drifting internal measurement.
What you may notice
  • Functions of the module dropping out or behaving inconsistently
  • Code returns mainly under electrical load
Likely causes
  • PossibleHigh-resistance terminal or fuse contact on feed A
  • PossiblePoor module ground shifting the measured supply
  • RareDrifting voltage measurement inside the module
Repair
Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €10 – €500
