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.

Can I keep driving? Fully drivable — this only affects subscription (satellite) entertainment; the engine and safety systems are unaffected.
