U0428 on Jeep by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Certain Jeep Avenger vehicles were equipped with a front camera containing an incorrect hardware level ID, causing an internal error code that keeps the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) permanently inactive. This disables Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) simultaneously, leaving the vehicle without critical active safety features. Stellantis issued a recall to address the faulty camera hardware.
Common Symptoms
- ADAS warning lights illuminated on dashboard
- Lane Keep Assist not functioning or unavailable
- Automatic Emergency Braking system disabled
- Forward collision warning not activating
- Error message related to camera or driver assistance system
How to Fix
Contact a Jeep dealer to have the front camera module replaced under the manufacturer recall. The dealer will install a camera with the correct hardware ID and verify that AEB and LKA functions are fully operational. This repair is performed at no cost under the recall campaign.
Call to confirm they can assess your vehicle and perform the stated work. Search results do not confirm qualification, eligibility or coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What does U0428 mean on a Jeep?
U0428 stands for "Invalid Data Received From Steering Angle Sensor Module." U0428 is a network code meaning a control module (commonly the ABS/stability control or steering control module) is receiving steering angle sensor data over the vehicle's data bus, but the data is invalid, implausible or out of range. 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 can't be trusted, systems like ABS, traction control and electronic stability control can disable themselves and turn on warning lights. It is often a calibration, software, wiring or module problem rather than steering damage. On Jeep it is documented across 1 model: Avenger.
What are the most common causes of U0428?
The most common causes of U0428 are: 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. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
