U0155: Perda de comunicação com o módulo de controle do painel de instrumentos (IPC)
O que fazer
Expect gauges that read nothing, warning lamps that do not work, or a dashboard that is simply blank. The car may also refuse to start, since the immobiliser often works through the cluster.
The important thing is what you have lost rather than what you can see: every warning the car is able to give you. Overheating, low oil pressure, a charging fault or low brake fluid would all normally be a lamp on this dashboard, and none of them can appear now. The car is no more likely to break, but it can no longer tell you when it does — so keep journeys short until it is fixed, and stop if anything sounds, smells or feels wrong rather than waiting for a warning that cannot come.
Driving without a working speedometer is an offence in many places and will fail a roadworthiness test.
If a replacement cluster is proposed, ask how the mileage will be transferred before the work starts. The odometer reading is stored in this unit, and a car whose recorded mileage does not match its history loses value and can look like it has been tampered with. It is a normal part of the job, but it is worth confirming rather than assuming.
O que este código significa
The instrument cluster has stopped being heard from. The general reasoning is at U0100.
A modern instrument cluster is a computer that draws pictures, not a set of gauges wired to sensors. Almost nothing on it is connected to what it displays: engine speed, road speed, coolant temperature and fuel level all arrive as messages on the bus, and the cluster renders them. So gauges reading zero does not mean the sensors have failed — it usually means the cluster is not receiving, or not being received.
Losing it removes every warning the vehicle has, which is the compounding risk and the reason this is rated as seriously as it is. Low oil pressure, overheating, a charging failure, low brake fluid — all of them are reported by lighting a lamp on this cluster, and none of them can be reported now. The vehicle is not less likely to develop a fault; it has lost the ability to tell you about one.
Two further consequences worth knowing:
- On many vehicles the immobiliser transponder ring or its authorisation lives in the cluster, so a cluster that is not talking can mean an engine that will not start — a no-start with a dead dashboard is one fault rather than two.
- The odometer is stored here. A replacement cluster must have the recorded mileage transferred to it, and this is a legal matter as well as a practical one: a mileage that does not match the vehicle's history damages its value and can look like tampering. Establish before the work how the mileage will be carried across.
Driving without a working speedometer is an offence in many jurisdictions and a roadworthiness test failure in most.

O CarGeek é uma referência, não um manual de serviço. Suas páginas são escritas a partir de fontes públicas e do que outras pessoas constataram, nunca a partir da documentação de serviço do fabricante, de modo que podem estar erradas ou incompletas para o seu veículo específico. Parte do que descrevem envolve risco real: alta tensão, combustível sob pressão, energia acumulada e peças quentes ou em movimento.
Antes de agir com base em qualquer orientação, peça a verificação de uma pessoa com formação técnica, seguindo o procedimento do próprio fabricante para o seu veículo. Nada aqui substitui esse procedimento.

O que faz valer a leitura:
- O carro — marca, modelo, ano e motor. A mesma falha se comporta de forma diferente em cada um.
- O que você mediu, não só o que trocou.
- O que realmente resolveu — ou que nada resolveu, o que também vale saber.
