Most Reported On
U1010 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Manufacturer-Specific Module Communication / Invalid or Missing Data.” U1010 is a manufacturer-specific network communication code (its exact meaning varies by maker; on GM it relates to a loss of, or invalid, serial data on the Class 2 data bus). In general it indicates a control module is not receiving the expected messages from another module, or is receiving data that fails validation.
