What the code means
Lost Communication With Parking Assist Control Module A. Generic meaning per SAE J2012 (the same for all makes).
How to read U0159: the letter U means network communication between modules; the second digit 0 marks a generic SAE code shared by all makes; the last three characters 159 identify the specific fault.
Codes for cameras, radars, blind spot and parking sensors. These units sit in bumpers, grilles and mirrors, so even a light impact shifts them or breaks mounts. After bumper or windshield work they need calibration on a rig, which is a separate and noticeable cost.
