What Does The Dodge B1A8A Code Mean?

The Radio Frequency Hub (RF Hub) receives and monitors the VIN messages from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Body Control Module (BCM). If the VIN is different from the last VIN it received, it will set this code. If the module was used on a previous vehicle, the VIN will be set to that previous vehicle.

What Are The Potential Causes Of The Dodge B1A8A Code?

  • RF hub received invalid vin from another module
  • RF hub, BCM or PCM not programmed
  • RF hub, BCM or PCM
