Frequently asked questions about U029F

What does U029F mean?

Lost Communication With Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Control Module. The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Control Module node on the vehicle communication bus.

Is U029F generic or manufacturer-specific?

U029F is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove U029F 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 U029F is removable in your case.
