Hey guys,

New here on the forum. I just purchased a 2015 GC R/T with 44K on the odometer, and loving it so far.

I was playing around with the radio, and came across a previous DTC code of 942D. I've searched everywhere and can't come up with any information on the code. Does anyone know what this code means?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Mike, I need more information like B0942D or something like that. I did how ever came up with this code that maybe close enough.
