OBD2 Car ScannerWhat does U2011 mean?
U2011 stands for Module Transmitted Invalid Data (Non SCP). Two or more of the car's computer modules are not communicating properly over the vehicle network (CAN bus).
Network codes cover the communication between the car's computer modules. When the car's computer sees a reading outside its normal range, it stores this code and may turn on a warning light on the dashboard.
Common causes
- Low or weak battery
- Damaged network wiring or connector
- A module that has lost power or failed
- Aftermarket accessories interfering with the network
What to do
- Read all stored and pending codes with a scanner. Several codes together often point to one cause.
- Note the freeze frame data (speed, temperature, load) recorded when the code was set.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors of the part named in the code for damage, corrosion or looseness.
- Fix the most likely and cheapest cause first, then clear the code and drive to see if it comes back.
