U0424
Invalid Data Received From HVAC Control Module
Causes
- HVAC control module software/firmware fault or internal failure
- Loss of or intermittent CAN/LIN network communication (open, short, high resistance)
- Corroded, loose, or damaged connector(s) or wiring to HVAC module
- Incorrect module programming or incompatible replacement module
- Low or missing module supply voltage or poor ground
- Network bus termination resistor missing or faulty
Symptoms
- HVAC controls or display inoperative, intermittent, or showing incorrect information
- Loss of one or more HVAC features (automatic climate control, blower speed feedback, mode selection)
- MIL or dash communication warning lamps may illuminate
- Other modules reporting related U-codes or communication faults
- Erratic or frozen HVAC temperature readouts
What to check
- Retrieve and record all stored DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules
- Check for other U-codes on the same network (helps locate bus/network issues)
- Attempt to communicate with the HVAC module using a scan tool (present/absent, respond to requests)
- Visually inspect HVAC module connector and wiring for corrosion, damage, or water intrusion
- Verify HVAC module supply voltage (B+) and ground integrity
- Measure CAN/LIN bus voltages and waveform quality at the HVAC module connector
Signal parameters
- Vehicle battery supply to HVAC module: ~11–14.5 V when engine running
- Module ground:
- CAN bus idle (recessive) voltages: CANH ≈ 2.5 V, CANL ≈ 2.5 V
- CAN bus dominant voltages: CANH ≈ 3.5 V, CANL ≈ 1.5 V (typical differential ≈ 2 V)
- Expected CAN data rate: commonly 250 kb/s or 500 kb/s depending on vehicle (verify factory spec)
- Termination resistance: ~60 ohms measured end-to-end between CANH and CANL
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules. Note time stamps and related codes.
- Verify the HVAC module is present and responsive on the network using a scan tool. Attempt to view live data or actuate HVAC functions from the tool.
- If HVAC module does not respond, check B+ and ground at the module connector. Repair any low voltage or poor ground before proceeding.
- Inspect wiring and connector for signs of damage, corrosion, or moisture. Repair or replace damaged connectors/wiring.
- With key on, engine off (or per service manual), measure CANH and CANL at the HVAC connector. Confirm recessive and dominant voltage levels and proper differential. If out of range, isolate wiring or nearby modules.
- Check network termination resistance (with power off). Replace missing or faulty terminators as required.
- If bus voltages and wiring are good, attempt module reflash or reprogram to the latest calibration per factory procedures (verify correct part number).
- If problem persists after wiring and software verification, consider replacing the HVAC control module. Use a known-good or programmed replacement and repeat communication checks.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a full system test. Monitor for recurrence and confirm HVAC functions operate normally.
Likely causes
- Faulty HVAC module (software or hardware)
- CAN/LIN wiring open, shorted, or high resistance between HVAC module and bus
- Poor ground or low battery voltage at HVAC module
- Corroded/poor connector pins at HVAC harness
- Bus termination or multiple device conflict on CAN network

U0424
Invalid Signal from ECC (Electronic Climate Control)
Causes
- HVAC control module software/firmware fault or internal failure
- Loss of or intermittent CAN/LIN network communication (open, short, high resistance)
- Corroded, loose, or damaged connector(s) or wiring to HVAC module
- Incorrect module programming or incompatible replacement module
- Low or missing module supply voltage or poor ground
- Network bus termination resistor missing or faulty
Symptoms
- HVAC controls or display inoperative, intermittent, or showing incorrect information
- Loss of one or more HVAC features (automatic climate control, blower speed feedback, mode selection)
- MIL or dash communication warning lamps may illuminate
- Other modules reporting related U-codes or communication faults
- Erratic or frozen HVAC temperature readouts
What to check
- Retrieve and record all stored DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules
- Check for other U-codes on the same network (helps locate bus/network issues)
- Attempt to communicate with the HVAC module using a scan tool (present/absent, respond to requests)
- Visually inspect HVAC module connector and wiring for corrosion, damage, or water intrusion
- Verify HVAC module supply voltage (B+) and ground integrity
- Measure CAN/LIN bus voltages and waveform quality at the HVAC module connector
Signal parameters
- Vehicle battery supply to HVAC module: ~11–14.5 V when engine running
- Module ground:
- CAN bus idle (recessive) voltages: CANH ≈ 2.5 V, CANL ≈ 2.5 V
- CAN bus dominant voltages: CANH ≈ 3.5 V, CANL ≈ 1.5 V (typical differential ≈ 2 V)
- Expected CAN data rate: commonly 250 kb/s or 500 kb/s depending on vehicle (verify factory spec)
- Termination resistance: ~60 ohms measured end-to-end between CANH and CANL
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules. Note time stamps and related codes.
- Verify the HVAC module is present and responsive on the network using a scan tool. Attempt to view live data or actuate HVAC functions from the tool.
- If HVAC module does not respond, check B+ and ground at the module connector. Repair any low voltage or poor ground before proceeding.
- Inspect wiring and connector for signs of damage, corrosion, or moisture. Repair or replace damaged connectors/wiring.
- With key on, engine off (or per service manual), measure CANH and CANL at the HVAC connector. Confirm recessive and dominant voltage levels and proper differential. If out of range, isolate wiring or nearby modules.
- Check network termination resistance (with power off). Replace missing or faulty terminators as required.
- If bus voltages and wiring are good, attempt module reflash or reprogram to the latest calibration per factory procedures (verify correct part number).
- If problem persists after wiring and software verification, consider replacing the HVAC control module. Use a known-good or programmed replacement and repeat communication checks.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a full system test. Monitor for recurrence and confirm HVAC functions operate normally.
Likely causes
- Faulty HVAC module (software or hardware)
- CAN/LIN wiring open, shorted, or high resistance between HVAC module and bus
- Poor ground or low battery voltage at HVAC module
- Corroded/poor connector pins at HVAC harness
- Bus termination or multiple device conflict on CAN network
