Happy to assist!
Steps on how to resolve malfunction for a variety of devices can be found through the below guide:
What is a Malfunction and How to Resolve
The Malfunction trouble condition indicates a device (an RF sensor, Z-Wave, Geo-Device, etc.) is unable to properly communicate.
Generally speaking, the issue can be resolved via the following means:
Verify that the device is still active and powered on.
Power cycle the device.
Verify there is nothing that could be interfering with communication, such as range (distance from sensor to panel, or Z-Wave device to nearest repeating node).
If applicable, …
If you reset the lock locally, it will need to be removed from the Z-Wave network, then re-added and a Z-Wave network rediscovery run.
More information on clearing/adding Z-Wave devices can be found in the below guide:
This guide is a reference on how to pair z-wave devices to your Z-wave compatible alarm panel.

This indicates that the panel is too far from the device you are trying to clear from the Z-Wave network. When clearing/pairing Z-Wave Locks, the panel needs to be within a few feet or so. You can bring the panel closer to the lock by running the panel on battery power if necessary.
To do so safely:
Disarm the system
Unplug the power supply from the wall
Open the panel and disconnect the power cable from the panel.
If wall mounted, you may want to tape the cable to the wall so it does not get lost behind the wall
While running on battery backup, bring the panel closer to the lock for the clear and inclusion process.

Are you clearing the Z-Wave device first? What is the make/model of the z-wave lock?
First you need to clear the Z-Wave device from the panel.
Then you need to Pair the Z-Wave Device to the panel
Lastly, once all Z-Wave devices have been paired, you need to run a Z-Wave network rediscovery.
