What U0410 means
U0410 means the engine controller receives data from the fuel pump control module that it cannot trust, such as a bad checksum, counter or an out-of-range value. Many cars drive the in-tank pump through such a module to set the low-side pressure on demand. GM shows why the data matter for emissions: bulletin PIP5427 (2014-2016 trucks and SUVs) traces a lit service engine lamp and a fuel pressure deviation P2635 to communication faults between ECM and pump module, logged there as U0074 or GM's own U18A2. From 2014 GM renamed this unit chassis control module. No manufacturer documents U0410 publicly. Expect a MIL, hesitation or reduced power. U0109 means lost contact, U0310 a software mismatch.
U0410 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.5 to 2.5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of U0410
- Check engine light on
- Fuel pressure codes such as P2635 set together
- Hesitation, stalling or reduced power
Common causes of U0410
- Most likelyDamaged bus wire or corroded connector to the fuel pump module (often near the tank)
- PossiblePoor power or ground of the fuel pump module
- PossiblePump module and ECM software do not match after replacement
- Less likelyFuel pump control module internally faulty
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of U0410 means
| U | Network system: communication between the control modules (CAN bus). |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 10 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note U0410 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about U0410
What does U0410 mean?
U0410 means "Invalid Data Received From Fuel Pump Control Module". U0410 means the engine controller receives data from the fuel pump control module that it cannot trust, such as a bad checksum, counter or an out-of-range value. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with U0410?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With U0410 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will U0410 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. U0410 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is U0410 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 2.5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will U0410 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
