U3566 Anode Inlet Pressure Sensor 1 Circuit
Generic fault on the anode inlet pressure sensor 1 (hydrogen pressure into the stack). A communication loss with this module breaks any function relying on its data — diagnostic tools may show 'no response' and dependent modules can fall into limp mode.
Is it safe to drive with U3566?
Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
