U0458 code meaning
Invalid Data Received From Information Center B
What U0458 means
U0458 covers the second driver information display, information center B, which J2012 keeps apart from center A, the instrument cluster and the head-up display; which physical screen a maker calls B, for example a passenger or rear-seat display, is its own decision. A receiving module logs the code when frames from B arrive but fail plausibility, such as a stuck alive counter or a wrong CRC as described in the AUTOSAR end-to-end protocol; if no frames come at all, U0157 is set instead. No manufacturer documents U0458 publicly, and none of the bulletins checked names its lost-contact twin U0157 either. Since such a display only presents information, the effect is normally limited to missing or frozen content on that one screen, with no MIL and no limp mode.

- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of U0458
- Second display blank, frozen or showing wrong values
- Functions operated through that display unavailable
Common causes of U0458
- Most likelySoftware fault or unsuitable software level in display B
- PossibleLoose connector or damaged bus wiring to display B
- Less likelyInternal fault of display B
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of U0458 means
| U | Network system: communication between the control modules (CAN bus). |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 58 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note U0458 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 U0458
What does U0458 mean?
U0458 means "Invalid Data Received From Information Center B". U0458 covers the second driver information display, information center B, which J2012 keeps apart from center A, the instrument cluster and the head-up display; which physical screen a maker calls B, for example a passenger or rear-seat display, is its own decision. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with U0458?
U0458 does not normally turn on the check engine light by itself. Watch for the symptoms above and have it checked soon.
Will U0458 fail an emissions test?
U0458 is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is U0458 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 2 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will U0458 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
