What does this fault code mean?
The keyless vehicle module (KVM) checks communication with the remote keyless entry receiver, which picks up signals from the key fob and handles the keyless functions. The code is stored when the KVM finds the signal faulty during key activity, such as locking, unlocking, passive start and activating the key.
Possible causes
- Signal wire shorted to supply voltage
- Signal wire shorted to ground

- 3Make sure the connectors at the receiver and at the CEM are firmly seated and free from corrosion
