What does this fault code mean?
The instrument cluster (DIM) no longer gets the information it needs from the central electronic module (CEM), and the communication between them stops. The fault is general and does not point to a single function.
Possible causes
- Break in the communication wire
- The communication wire is shorted to earth
- The communication wire is shorted to supply voltage
- Poor contact, oxidation or breaks in the connections
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact. Their location is in the owner's manual or the fuse list in the car
- 2If possible, test a few functions in the car with the buttons, controls and a short road test to see how the fault shows
- 3If none of the symptoms are visible at the moment, the fault may be intermittent. Note when it appears and what happens then
- 4Read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool and clear them. If the fault returns, have a workshop check the CEM and the communication wires
- 5Measure with a multimeter that the communication wires have no break and are not shorted to earth or supply voltage
Symptoms you may notice4
- The instrument cluster does not work or shows no information
- The trip computer does not work
- One or more gauges show faults or do not work
- A text or warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster and a function does not work as it should
