What Does U0507 Mean?
The control module receiving data from the folding top (convertible roof) control module has detected that the data being transmitted is invalid, corrupted, or out of range. This indicates a communication problem on the vehicle network between modules.
Common Causes
35%
Folding top control module internal failure or software corruption
30%
Damaged or corroded wiring harness between modules causing signal degradation
20%
Poor ground connection or power supply issue to folding top module
10%
Network bus termination resistor failure or CAN bus short circuit
5%
Software version mismatch or module programming issue after replacement
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Use scan tool to monitor live data from folding top control module and verify if any data is being transmitted
2
Step 2: Check voltage supply and ground connections to the folding top control module with multimeter
3
Step 3: Inspect wiring harness and connectors between folding top module and other control modules for damage, corrosion, or loose connections
4
Step 4: Test CAN bus circuit integrity using oscilloscope or CAN bus tester to verify proper signal voltage and termination
5
Step 5: If all wiring and power checks pass, suspect faulty folding top control module and verify software version is current
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The control module receiving data from the folding top (convertible roof) control module has detected that the data being transmitted is invalid, corrupted, or out of range. This indicates a communication problem on the vehicle network between modules.
The most common cause of U0507 (Invalid Data Received From Folding Top Control Module) is: Folding top control module internal failure or software corruption
Typical repair costs for U0507 range from $150 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Not a direct safety concern for vehicle operation. Convertible top may not operate properly or may operate unexpectedly, which could create a hazard if it deploys while driving.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to U0507 to identify the root cause.
