U0457 Invalid Data Received From Information Center A

Check engine lightUsually off
EmissionsNot relevant

Limp modeNo

Information center A is the first of two driver information displays defined alongside the instrument cluster, in practice often the central screen or head unit of the infotainment system. U0457 is stored when a listener still hears this display but rejects what it sends, for example because a message counter or checksum fails, the kind of protection AUTOSAR specifies for safety-related frames; a silent display gives U0156 instead. No manufacturer documents U0457 publicly. For the partner itself, Mazda treats information center A as its connectivity master unit (SA-029/20, Mazda3 and CX-30), and Volvo's central electronic module logs U015600 when the Sensus screen stays black (TJ 25872). Settings, messages or audio shown on that screen may be wrong or missing, while driving stays normal and no MIL lights. U0458 is center B.

Likely causes

Software fault or version mismatch in the display or head unit
Poorly seated fuse or weak supply of the display unit
Connector or bus wiring fault at the display

Symptoms

  • Central display showing wrong, frozen or no content
  • Network malfunction message in the cluster
