U0467

Moderate

Invalid Data Received From Fuel Additive Control Module

What Does U0467 Mean?

The network is receiving implausible or corrupted data from the fuel additive control module (typically diesel exhaust fluid/DEF or fuel conditioning systems). This prevents proper monitoring and control of emissions-related fuel additive systems.

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect fuel additive tank and fluid condition; verify proper fluid type and check for contamination or freezing

2

Step 2: Check all connectors at fuel additive control module and related sensors for corrosion or damage

3

Step 3: Monitor fuel additive system parameters in scan tool live data to identify which sensor values are implausible

4

Step 4: Test resistance and voltage of fuel additive quality and level sensors against specifications

5

Step 5: Verify CAN bus integrity at additive module; replace module if all sensors and wiring test within specifications

Estimated Repair Cost

$250 - $1,200
