How to read PS5 error codes over UART

Contributed by CircuitScope · Added 30 Oct 2026 · 1 views

Read the PS5's own error log from the syscon and look up what each code means.

Every PS5 keeps an error log in its system controller (syscon). Reading it over UART shows what the console saw before it failed, which is far quicker than guessing.

What you need

A USB-to-UART adapter set to 3.3 V logic. 5 V can damage the syscon.
Fine wire and a steady hand to solder to the syscon's UART test points (TX, RX and ground). Check the exact pads for your board revision.
Software: PS5 NOR Modifier by TheCod3r has a UART tab that reads the log and explains each code. Any serial terminal at 115200 baud also works.
