U0256-00 Everything Works

Hi everyone!

On a recent code scan of my 2013 STX 5.0 I noticed the code U0256(00) which comes back after I clear it, but everything is working (Knock on wood) so I'm not sure why the code is there. Does anyone have any ideas why and what I might do to correct it?

Thanks

Scott

That is the source of the code, it's a communication code saying one module (FCIM) in the factory radio you no longer have, is no longer talking to another module asking it for information. You can ignore it.
