U0195 concerns the subscription entertainment receiver module, the box that decodes a paid broadcast service such as SiriusXM satellite radio. Earlier code lists named it Satellite Radio Receiver Module, and makers have used it in that sense: Chrysler's code list for 2006-2010 Jeep models, filed with NHTSA in a defect investigation, reads U0195 as Lost Communication With SDARS, the satellite digital audio receiver. The radio or gateway records the code once the receiver's periodic frames stop at normal voltage, as GM explains for all U0100-U02FF codes. No newer bulletin in the NHTSA index names U0195. Satellite channels vanish or show no subscription signal, terrestrial radio keeps playing. U0193 is digital audio module A, U0496 invalid data. No MIL.

Likely causes

Receiver without power or ground
History entry after low battery voltage or jump start
Bus line or connector to the receiver damaged or corroded
Subscription receiver module faulty

Symptoms

  • Subscription service cannot be activated
  • Code stored in the radio or gateway
