What does this fault code mean?
The door module controls the lamp in the central locking button that shows whether the car is locked or unlocked. The fault is stored when the current to the lamp is too high, which means the supply wire has contact with ground. The module then stops supplying the lamp, so the lock status is no longer shown on the button.
Possible causes
- The supply wire is short-circuited to ground
- Moisture or oxidation in the connections
