Invalid Data Received From Wireless Accessory Charging Module B
AI status
Completed
Completed
100%
Causes
- Faulty or intermittent wiring/connectors between Module B and the vehicle data bus
- Loss of power or ground to Wireless Accessory Charging Module B
- Faulty Wireless Accessory Charging Module B (hardware or firmware)
- CAN/LIN bus faults (open circuit, short to power/ground, missing termination)
- Network message collisions or ID conflicts from another module
- Corrupted module programming or mismatched software/calibration
Symptoms
- Wireless accessory charging may not start or may stop intermittently
- Charge status indicator or infotainment message about charger fault
- Stored network communication faults or multiple related U-codes
- Other systems that rely on charger data may show warnings or degraded operation
- Intermittent loss of accessory charging functionality
What to check
- Read and record all stored U-codes and freeze-frame data with a factory-level scan tool
- Check for additional related codes (other U-codes, B-codes, or module-specific codes)
- Verify module B appears on the network (module present, correct ID) with a scanner
- Inspect connectors and wiring at Wireless Accessory Charging Module B for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion; reseat connectors
- Measure module power and ground circuits at the module connector for correct voltage and continuity
- Check vehicle battery voltage and charging system health
Signal parameters
- Network type: CAN (common) or LIN (vehicle specific) — confirm which bus the charging module uses
- Arbitration ID(s) used by Wireless Accessory Charging Module B (verify expected IDs with OEM data)
- Data length (DLC) and expected message periodicity (e.g., message interval in ms)
- Checksum/CRC or parity field presence and expected value rules
- CAN high/low voltages during idle and dominant states, expected ~2.5V mid-line with proper transceivers (verify OEM spec)
- Bus termination resistance (typically ~60 ohms total for CAN) and presence of transceiver activity
Diagnostic algorithm
- Confirm the U050E code and note freeze-frame & related codes. Do not assume a replacement without testing.
- Check vehicle battery voltage and fuses for the charging module circuit. Repair any low-voltage conditions.
- Visually inspect and reseat connectors at Wireless Accessory Charging Module B. Look for bent pins, corrosion, or moisture.
- Verify power and ground at the module connector with a multimeter. Repair wiring or grounds if out of spec.
- Use a scan tool to confirm the module is present on the network and to view live data from the module (if available). Note any invalid fields or missing parameters.
- Check for additional network U-codes or module-specific faults that may point to a different source or root cause.
- Monitor the bus with an oscilloscope or CAN/LIN logger while reproducing the fault. Look for malformed frames, unexpected IDs, incorrect voltage levels, or CRC errors.
- Inspect bus wiring and termination. Measure total termination resistance and repair shorts/opens or damaged sections.
- If wiring and bus integrity are good and intermittent behavior persists, check module firmware/calibration part numbers and compare with OEM records. Reprogram/update module software per OEM procedures if a mismatch or update is available.
- If a suspected defective module remains after the above checks, consider swapping with a known-good Wireless Accessory Charging Module B (if available) to confirm module fault.
- After any repair or module replacement, clear codes, perform relearn or configuration procedures required by the manufacturer, then road-test to confirm the fault is resolved.
- If the problem cannot be resolved, consult OEM technical bulletins or advanced diagnostics (manufacturer data logger, dealer support).
Likely causes
- Poor connector contact or damaged wiring at the charging module
- Module B powered but producing malformed CAN/LIN frames due to internal fault
- Bus termination missing or short causing corrupted messages
- Software/firmware mismatch after module replacement or update
- Intermittent battery/ignition voltage causing incorrect transmit timing
Fault status
Status
Invalid data received from Wireless Accessory Charging Module B — messages from the module are corrupted, out of expected format, or failing integrity checks.
