AI DamageU0422 code: Invalid Data Received From Body Control Module
Code U0422 is named in 16 US owner complaints. Models: 9, model years 2014–2025.
What the code means
Invalid Data Received From Body Control Module. Generic meaning per SAE J2012 (the same for all makes).
How to read U0422: 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 422 identify the specific fault.
Lost communication codes (U0xxx) mean one module cannot hear another on the data bus. The cause can be the module itself, its power or ground, or a damaged wiring harness. After a crash this is a typical trace: the impact tears wiring in the rail, fender or rocker and modules drop off the network.

What to do if an auction car has this code
- Check wiring harnesses in the impact zone: rail, fender, rocker, pillar.
- Check the battery and grounds: low voltage triggers false lost communication codes.
- Budget a network scan: a missing module may be intact while its wiring is damaged.
