What is the reason for this trouble code U0155?

The trouble code U0155 is a generic communication problem. This problem is associated with the communication trout between the Instrument Panel Code (IPC) module and another control module. This module is mainly used to communicate with all the control modules with Controller Area Network or CAN bus system. Without the CAN bus system, no control module can’t work. That means they can’t exchange the information between all modules. With that, your scanner is also unable to scan any problem dealing with your vehicle. That’s why this problem is known as the CAN bus fault. So the code U0155 shows the communication problem with IPC or PCM with another control module.
