What does this fault code mean?
The driver's door control module has registered that the control button for the door mirror motors has been active in two or more positions together. The button is not working correctly, so mirror adjustment does not work.
Possible causes
- Control button for the mirror motors is not working correctly
What you can do
- 1Press the mirror control in every position and check that it returns when released
- 2Test whether each mirror can be adjusted separately, to see whether the fault affects the whole control
- 3Clear the code with your own tool and see whether it returns; if the fault is permanent the control module will need replacing, which a workshop can do
- 4Look for damaged wiring to the mirror motors, and have a workshop check it if the fault seems to be there
Symptoms you may notice1
