Lost Communication With Subscription Entertainment Receiver Module
Communication network (infotainment)
Generic OBD-II
Low
What it means
U0195 means the vehicle has lost communication with the subscription entertainment receiver — the module that provides satellite (subscription) radio to the infotainment system. The only effect is that satellite entertainment stops working; the engine and all safety systems are unaffected. It usually comes down to a wiring or connector fault, a power/ground problem, water intrusion, or a failed receiver module.
