Frequently asked questions
What does U3000 mean on a Lincoln?

It is often accompanied by a sub-fault letter or number that narrows down whether the issue is internal electronics, calibration, or a communication/voltage problem. In practice it means a module is reporting that it (or a module it monitors) is not functioning correctly, which can put the system into a protective/safe mode. On Lincoln it is documented across 1 model: Nautilus.
