Hi,

That could be the result of several things. If you have checked the battery and it is good, the next step would be to scan the can-bus system.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that shows how it's done:

Let me know if that is something you can do or have done.

Take care,
