Q: What does code U0258 mean?

Lost Communication With Radio Transceiver. U0258 is a network communication code indicating that a control module on the vehicle's data bus has lost contact with the radio transceiver, which is the component that handles wireless signals such as keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring, or infotainment connectivity. The module that set the code expected regular status messages from the transceiver and stopped receiving them for a set number of drive cycles, so it flagged the circuit as offline.
