Data confidence65%
The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module A node on the vehicle communication bus.
Symptoms
MIL illuminated
Possible reduced engine performance
Possible rough idle or hesitation
Possible causes
Carbon-blocked EGR passages
Sticking or slow EGR valve
EGR actuator or position sensor fault
Wiring or connector fault
Vacuum supply fault (vacuum-operated systems)
Recommended checks
Read freeze frame data and full module scan
Check battery voltage and sensor supply
Inspect EGR wiring and connectors
Compare commanded vs actual EGR position/flow with live data
Inspect EGR valve and passages for carbon build-up

Frequently asked questions about U010A
What does U010A mean?
Lost Communication With Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module A. The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module A node on the vehicle communication bus.
Is U010A generic or manufacturer-specific?
U010A is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove U010A at file level?
Not guaranteed. Powertrain (P) codes can be reliably disabled in the ECU calibration, but body, chassis and network codes depend on the specific control unit and how the fault is implemented - some can be handled, some cannot. Ask for a quote and our engineers will check your file and tell you, free of charge, whether U010A is removable in your case.
