What does this fault code mean?
The central electronic module (CEM) monitors the alarm status LED in the instrument panel, which shows whether the alarm is armed. The fault is stored when the wire to the LED is shorted to ground, so the CEM cannot control the LED properly and the alarm status is not shown. The fault is checked when the central lock is locked or unlocked.
Possible causes
- The supply wire to the alarm LED is shorted to ground
What you can do
- 1Clear the code, then lock and unlock the car with the central lock to see whether the fault returns

- 3Check that the connector to the alarm LED is fully engaged and not damaged, and that the cable is not pinched or chafed
- 4Use a multimeter (ignition off, connector unplugged) to check that the wire to the LED has no connection to ground (car body)
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop check the wiring and the LED
Symptoms you may notice2
