U0428 on Chevrolet
Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module
U0428 on Chevrolet vehicles indicates lost communication with steering angle sensor module. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chevrolet model — most commonly on Silverado. U0428 is a network communication code meaning a control module (commonly the ABS/stability control or steering control module) has lost communication with the steering angle sensor module over the vehicle's data bus. The steering angle sensor tells the stability-control and electric power-steering systems exactly how far and how fast the steering wheel is being turned. When that data stops arriving, systems like ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control can disable themselves and turn on warning lights. This is typically a wiring, connector, or module/bus problem rather than steering damage.
Common Causes of U0428
- •Wiring or connector fault between the sensor and the bus
- •Failed steering angle sensor module
- •Corroded or damaged clockspring/spiral cable connector
- •CAN bus wiring damage, short, or open circuit
- •Loss of power or ground to the steering angle sensor
- •Faulty ABS or steering control module
- •Software issue or sensor not calibrated after service
U0428 on Chevrolet by Model
Chevrolet Silverado(1 issue)
- Temporary Loss of Electric Power Steering Assist (Voltage-Drop Recall)2014-2015
GM recalled 2014 Silverado 1500 (NHTSA 17V414, ~690,685 units) and 2015 Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban (over 1 million units) for a temporary loss — and sudden return — of electric power steering assist, especially during low-speed turns. The EPS draws a high-energy load in low-speed maneuvers; when system voltage drops below ~8.8V for more than a second, the module disables assist until voltage recovers, with steering then snapping back to assisted. The sudden change in steering effort can cause loss of control. The remedy is an EPS module software update that reduces the steering system's energy demand. High search demand and a clear safety-recall pedigree.

What does U0428 mean on Chevrolet?▼
U0428 stands for "Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module." U0428 is a network communication code meaning a control module (commonly the ABS/stability control or steering control module) has lost communication with the steering angle sensor module over the vehicle's data bus. The steering angle sensor tells the stability-control and electric power-steering systems exactly how far and how fast the steering wheel is being turned. When that data stops arriving, systems like ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control can disable themselves and turn on warning lights. This is typically a wiring, connector, or module/bus problem rather than steering damage. On Chevrolet specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
