U0572 Invalid Data Received From Vehicle Motion Control Module A

Check engine lightUsually off

Drive cycleNot required
Limp modePossible

A vehicle motion control module sits above the individual chassis controllers and coordinates steering, brakes, damping and drive torque. ZF's cubiX software works this way and went into production in the Lotus Eletre; Hitachi Astemo describes a central controller that sends time-referenced instructions to several actuator modules. U0572 means that one of these actuator controllers or the gateway receives such instructions or status data from module A but finds them invalid, for example out of range or with a broken counter or checksum. No manufacturer documents U0572 publicly, and there is no generic lost-communication code for this module. The receiving controllers then ignore the commands and fall back to their own functions.

Likely causes

Software of motion control module and chassis controllers not matched
Motion control module A internally faulty
Implausible sensor input to the module (yaw, steering angle) leading to invalid outputs
Disturbed chassis network or gateway

Symptoms

  • Chassis or stability warning message
  • Rear-axle steering, active roll control or drive modes switched off
  • Car drives with basic stability control only
