What Does U0417 Mean?
The electronic park brake control module is sending corrupted or out-of-range data across the vehicle network. This prevents other systems from properly monitoring or coordinating park brake operation.
Common Causes
40%
Defective electronic park brake control module with internal failure
25%
Faulty park brake actuator motor or position sensor sending invalid feedback
20%
Damaged wiring or connectors in park brake system circuit
10%
CAN bus communication network fault affecting module data transmission
5%
Low voltage or poor ground connection at park brake module
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Test park brake module power and ground circuits; verify proper voltage at module connector
2
Step 2: Inspect park brake actuator connectors and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion
3
Step 3: Monitor park brake position sensor data using scan tool during brake application and release cycles
4
Step 4: Check CAN bus communication lines at park brake module for proper voltage and resistance
5
Step 5: Test park brake actuator motor operation and current draw; replace module if actuator tests good but data remains invalid
Estimated Repair Cost
$200 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The electronic park brake control module is sending corrupted or out-of-range data across the vehicle network. This prevents other systems from properly monitoring or coordinating park brake operation.
The most common cause of U0417 (Invalid Data Received From Park Brake Control Module) is: Defective electronic park brake control module with internal failure
Typical repair costs for U0417 range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Electronic park brake may not engage or release properly, potentially causing unexpected brake application while driving or inability to secure vehicle when parked. Vehicle should be repaired promptly and parked in gear or with wheel chocks.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to U0417 to identify the root cause.
