DTC 42 - Last Transmitter Message Received Had Invalid ID

Malfunction/Condition

The digital RF message received was from a Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter not assigned to the BCM.

Operational Effects

No remote function capability (i.e., Lock, Unlock, etc.).

Potential Causes

A Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter was used without programming it to the BCM. If the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter was already programmed, it may be defective.

Comments

The BCM should be put into the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter programming mode. Both Remote Control Door Lock Transmitters must be reassigned at the same time. Refer to Section 9K.
