Frequently asked questions
What does U0155 mean on a Lincoln?
U0155 stands for "Lost Communication with Instrument Cluster." This is a network communication code meaning a control module (usually the engine or body computer) has lost communication with the instrument cluster over the vehicle's data bus. Modern vehicles share information between modules over a network (such as CAN), and the cluster both displays data and relays messages. When messages from the cluster stop arriving, this code sets. You may see warning lights, dead or erratic gauges, missing displays, or other modules acting up. It usually points to wiring, power/ground, or the cluster itself rather than the engine. On Lincoln it is documented across 1 model: Nautilus.
