I have the following codes:
B2486 - No Code Definition Available (6/13/2018)

B1681 - No transceiver signal received from the module/no transceiver detected (6/29/2018) - Read below for reported fixes

The B1681 code appeared after a minor parking lot accident yesterday so I now have a huge impact on my bumper below the left tail light assembly. I also would like to know where the location of the transceiver is.

I would love to help you. The first piece of advice I'm going to give is "stop replacing" parts as a trouble shooting method. Things like changing fuses just don't make sense. Test them.

Test the alternator. Test the battery.

Please re-state the car's current symptoms.

I'm going to assume that the car is a crank with no start. So let's start by CONFIRMING power into some key fuses. Test fuses F2.34, F2.2 and F2.8 for key on power using a known good ground. What to do next depends upon the exact test results.

OBTW, the code about the oil pressure switch doesn't mean a thing and happens on every car where the motor isn't actually running.
