This network code indicates one or more modules have lost communication with digital audio control module "D" over the vehicle's communication bus.

    The current Range Rover Sport has documented complaints and recall-related visibility concerns involving the rearview camera image not displaying, displaying late, or becoming unavailable. Because the vehicle relies heavily on camera systems for rear visibility and parking assistance, loss of image can create a safety hazard during reversing.
