What the code means
This is a manufacturer-specific code: the meaning depends on the make and sometimes on the year.
How to read U1120: the letter U means network communication between modules; the second digit 1 marks a manufacturer code whose meaning is set by the make; the last three characters 120 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.
