Causes
- Faulty radiator anti-tamper device (module or sensor)
- Damaged, corroded or loose connector at the device
- Broken, shorted or intermittent wiring on the CAN/data lines
- CAN bus voltage problems (low battery, poor ground, high resistance)
- Water intrusion or physical damage to device or connector
- Software mismatch or module needing reflash/update
Symptoms
- DTC U0587 stored in one or more control modules
- Warning or message on instrument cluster related to cooling or anti-tamper system (manufacturer dependent)
- Related features that rely on the radiator device may be inoperative or behave erratically
- Possible cooling system or fan control anomalies if the device provides critical input
- Intermittent drivability or network-related warnings if bus errors escalate
What to check
- Read all stored codes and freeze frame data from all networked modules
- Check battery voltage and main ground points; ensure stable 12V supply
- Inspect the radiator anti-tamper device connector and wiring for corrosion, damage, or loose terminals
- Perform a physical inspection for water intrusion or impact damage near the device
- Use a scan tool to monitor CAN bus traffic and confirm message IDs, frequency and error counters
- Wiggle test wiring/connectors while monitoring for fault appearance/disappearance
Signal parameters
- CAN bus voltage (nominal ~2.5V idle, differential between CAN-H and CAN-L)
- Presence and frequency of device message ID on the CAN bus
- Message payload consistency, message counter, and checksum values (if available)
- Bus error counts (tx/rx error counters) and node-offline indicators
- Supply voltage to device and ground integrity
Diagnostic algorithm
- Record all DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules. Note when the fault first occurred and any related events (water exposure, recent repairs).
- Verify battery voltage and chassis/engine grounds. Low or intermittent voltage can corrupt messages.
- Visually inspect the radiator anti-tamper device, connector and harness for corrosion, bent pins, damage, or moisture. Repair or replace damaged connectors.
- With a capable scan tool, monitor the CAN bus. Confirm the radiator device message appears and check payloads, message counters and error rates. Identify if messages are malformed or absent.
- Perform a wiggle test of the wiring and connector while monitoring bus traffic and DTC status; note any intermittent behavior.
- If wiring and connectors check good, confirm supply voltage and ground at the device connector with a DVOM or scope. Repair supply/ground faults.
- If device messages are missing or invalid after wiring and power confirmed good, consider replacing the radiator anti-tamper device or module.
- After repair or replacement, clear codes and road/test while monitoring for recurrence. If codes return, capture bus logs and escalate to manufacturer data/technical service for module-level diagnostics or software updates.
Likely causes
- Connector corrosion or water-damaged plug at the radiator device
- Open/short on CAN high or CAN low between device and network
- Failed radiator anti-tamper device electronics
- Battery/ground issue causing corrupted messages
- Module software or configuration error after service or replacement
Fault status
Status
Invalid data received from radiator anti-tamper device — communication or data integrity fault detected; inspect device, wiring, and CAN bus.
