What does this fault code mean?
Although the code is titled pump motor, it concerns the oil pressure pump, and the fault lies in the four-wheel drive control module (DEM) itself. The module compares the current from the pump with predefined limits, and the code is stored when the deviation lasts too long. The four-wheel drive is disengaged, and the remedy is to replace the control module.
Possible causes
- Damaged four-wheel drive control module (DEM)
What you can do
- 1Read and erase the code, then road test the car to see whether it returns
- 2Check that the fuses are intact
- 3If the code returns, have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check and replace the four-wheel drive control module
Symptoms you may notice2
- Four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive do not work
- Warning symbol and message in the display
What the fault can affect1
