U0184 on Volvo
Lost Communication With Radio
U0184 on Volvo vehicles indicates lost communication with radio. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Volvo model — most commonly on V60. This network code means a module stopped receiving expected communication messages from the radio/audio module over the vehicle's data bus. When the radio module goes offline or its bus connection fails, this code is logged. On some vehicles the audio module also acts as a network gateway, so its loss can trigger several related communication codes. Symptoms are typically a dead or unresponsive radio/infotainment system; it does not affect drivability. Typical repair costs on Volvo range from $150 to $1,800, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of U0184
- •Loss of power or ground to the radio/audio module
- •Blown radio fuse
- •Wiring or connector fault on the communication bus
- •Faulty radio/audio control module
- •Corroded or loose module connector
- •Network/bus wiring short affecting multiple modules
U0184 on Volvo by Model
Volvo V60(1 issue)
- Sensus Infotainment Freezing, Black Screen and Reboot Loops2015-2023
The Sensus Connect center display freezes, goes black/blank, or gets stuck in a boot loop cycling the Volvo logo without fully loading. Because the touchscreen controls climate, radio volume, backup camera, and many vehicle settings, a frozen unit also kills audio, turn-signal/parking-sensor chimes, and the rear camera, making the car difficult to operate safely. Owners report it happening intermittently, often after a software update, in cold weather, or at random while driving. It is one of the most frequently reported V60/SPA complaints and a top non-engine warranty/electrical gripe across the lineup.
