Invalid Data Received From Remote Start Module

Causes
- Remote start module internal fault or corrupted firmware
- Incorrect or incomplete module programming/coding
- Damaged wiring harness to the remote start module (opens, shorts, chafing)
- Poor or intermittent power or ground at the remote start module
- CAN/LIN bus communication errors (short to battery/ground, open, missing termination)
- Connector corrosion, bent pins or poor pin contact
Symptoms
- Remote start function does not operate or operates intermittently
- U0555 stored in the vehicle's network control module(s)
- Other modules report related communication errors or degraded features
- No remote start status on dash or incorrect status shown
- Possible warning lamps or messages related to remote start or immobilizer
What to check
- Read all network codes with a bi-directional scan tool; note other U-codes or module faults
- Confirm vehicle battery voltage is within specification (approx. 12.4–12.8 V at rest)
- Inspect remote start module connector for corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion
- Check power and ground circuits at the remote start module for good continuity and voltage
- Verify the remote start module is present and recognized by the scan tool (module ID and software version)
- Inspect CAN and LIN wiring for damage, chafing or aftermarket splice taps
Signal parameters
- CAN bus idle voltages (recessive): approx. CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V (verify against service manual)
- CAN bus dominant levels: CAN_H ≈ 3.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 1.5 V during dominant bits (typical)
- Typical high-speed CAN baud rates: 250 kbps or 500 kbps (confirm for vehicle model)
- Expected termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L: ~60 Ω (two 120 Ω resistors in parallel)
- Module supply voltage: battery voltage present at power pin (check vehicle spec)
- Module ground: near 0.0 V with good continuity to chassis ground
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a dealer-level or full-function scan tool. Read and record all stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data from all modules.
- Verify battery state-of-charge and charging system health; restore battery if low and retest.
- Attempt to reproduce the fault while monitoring network traffic and remote start module status with the scan tool.
- Visually inspect the remote start module and related connectors for damage, corrosion, moisture or rodent damage. Repair or replace damaged connectors/wiring.
- Check module power and ground: backprobe power and ground pins with ignition on; confirm proper voltages and continuity to battery/chassis.
- Verify the remote start module is detected by the network and check its software/calibration ID. Compare against factory data or TSBs; reprogram/update if required.
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L at the remote start module with a DMM (for idle voltages) and oscilloscope (for signal integrity). Look for missing frames, dominant stuck, or excessive noise.
- Measure termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L with battery disconnected; expect ~60 Ω. Repair any opens/shorts.
- If wiring and bus are good but module still sends invalid data, try replacing or bench-testing the remote start module following manufacturer procedures.
- After repairs or replacement, clear codes, perform relearns or module programming as required, and road test to verify the fault does not return.
Likely causes
- Faulty remote start module or module firmware bug
- Loose, corroded or damaged connector at the remote start module
- Loss of proper power or ground to the module
- CAN bus wiring fault (short to ground or open)
- Module configuration or software mismatch after servicing
Fault status
Status
Communication error: invalid or corrupted data received from the remote start module. Verify module power/ground, connectors, network integrity, and software version before replacing components.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
