What does this fault code mean?
The brake control module (BCM) receives a request from the crash speed module (CVM) to activate the brake for collision mitigation. The code is set if the CVM asks for braking too frequently or for an extended period. The fault lies in the crash speed module and affects front monitoring and active safety.
Possible causes
- Damaged crash speed module (CVM)
What you can do
- 1Read codes in the crash speed module and troubleshoot them first
- 2Do not replace the brake control module for this code, as the fault lies in the crash speed module
- 3After a road test, check that automatic braking does not activate without reason
- 4The collision and brake systems are safety-critical, so have a workshop carry out any work on the crash speed module and the brake control module
Symptoms you may notice2
- Front monitoring and active safety do not work
- Front monitoring and active safety brake without reason
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
