What U010B means

U010B
Lost Communication With Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module B Generic · emissions Data confidence 65%

The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module B 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
  • Check related vacuum lines where fitted

Frequently asked questions about U010B

What does U010B mean?

Lost Communication With Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module B. The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Module B node on the vehicle communication bus.

Is U010B generic or manufacturer-specific?

U010B is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove U010B 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 U010B is removable in your case.
