The Jandy remote (at my house) controller terminal shows the code 8156 REV L and is unresponsive to pushing any buttons. The pumps are running though.
What could be wrong?

This is what shows when your control boots up. It seems to be having issues pulling data from your power center. I'd have someone come out to check the cable between both for damage or loose connections. Worst case is that your controller is shorted out and needs to be replaced, but don't jump the gun right away because they're not cheap.
Take a look at troubleshooting section on page 40. As previous poster mentioned, check your wiring and connections.
It seems to work intermittently, had it being responsive moments ago, then locking out again, almost as if there was a communication or weak battery problem. However its seems to me the system is actually wired, not using a battery or wireless communication. I could be wrong, since the pool was build by the previous owner.

You likely have a bad cable between the keypad and the panel.
Open up the top low voltage section of the panel and examine the wire connections. Pull off the keypad to get to the connector. Use a multimeter to check wire continuity. POWER OFF THE AQUALINK BEFORE CHECKING ANY WIRING or you can blow the board.

You can check out this video i made for the connection for that. Easy to check or fix.
Thanks, will try to check, need to figure out precisely how to do this since the remote keypad is pretty far away from the actual control board in the machine area. I guess one could check connectivity by shorting / between pins on the keypad end and thus creating a loop that can be detected by measuring between pairs of wires on the controller side. How are the professionals doing this?
In the past I had little animals chew through cables, like the one between the salt generator control board and the flow meter, stopping all chlorine generation. Some quick surgery of cutting out the bad section of wire and stringing it back together worked there, but that one is above ground while I suspect the wiring between the control board and the house remote is somewhere buried underground.

I would disconnect all 4 wires on both ends and pick two colors and connect those two to a 9 volt battery. Then check the other end with a multi meter. Do the same for the other 2 colors. Could be as simple as the wires need to be tightened a bit.
