  4. Check the ABS module fuse and power supply.
  5. If the module has lost communication, it may need replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is U060A serious?

Yes — U060A is considered a critical-severity code. You should have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. Driving with this code active may cause further damage to your vehicle or pose a safety risk.

Can I clear U060A myself?

You can clear any OBD-II code with a code scanner or by disconnecting the battery for 15-30 minutes. However, clearing the code without fixing the underlying problem will cause it to return — usually within one or two drive cycles. If the code triggered the check engine light, the light will come back on. Fix the root cause first, then clear the code.

How much does it cost to fix U060A?

Repair costs vary widely depending on the root cause. Some fixes are free (like tightening a gas cap) while others can cost several hundred dollars (like replacing a catalytic converter or oxygen sensor). A proper diagnosis with a professional scan tool — not just reading the code — is the first step to getting an accurate repair estimate. Many auto parts stores offer free code reading, but a thorough diagnosis usually requires a mechanic.
