Default What does this code mean: 80 Radio U1016

Can someone tell me what this code means? I originally thought it has something to do with the Radio, but was recently told that it has something to do with the ground connections on the chassis.

The web link I have with all the DIC codes simple has the words "Radio Not found" under the 80 Radio section, so I cant figure out what the code means. However, if I search for U1016 in the list it appears a buch of times with this message: Loss of Communication with PCM.

Any help?

the Radio didn't respond to the BCM when it sent out a request to the Radio. It could be that the serial buss was busy at the time or there was errant noise on it from the ground point you mentioned for instance.

Are you getting it alot? Typically you can ignore "U" codes...

Yes, it loads every time I clear my messages. If its just a radio error, I dont mind because the radio works fine, but I was more concerned that it was something else since a friend told me it might be. I just always assumed that it had to do with the radio, because it had the word radio in it.

Stupid question but you do have a stock radio?

If you fit aftermarket thats the code that shows. The stock radio passes signals over the bus that are missing in an aftermarket model.

Just checking
