This DTC is generated by the module when the Theft Lock is activated. This occurs when the VIN as received over the data communication circuit and the VIN as stored in the module memory do not match. This also occurs when no VIN is received over the data communication circuit. The only circuit required is the communication line.

This DTC test runs when the radio changes from OFF to ON.
