What does this fault code mean?

The engine control module (ECM) has logged an internal fault, so the fault lies in the module itself. It can show up as poor throttle response and the malfunction indicator lamp coming on. On cars with the B4204S3 engine from model year 2009, the fault can come from an early software version, and a corrected version exists.

Possible causes

Damaged engine control module (ECM)
On cars with the B4204S3 engine from model year 2009: an early software version in the engine control module

What you can do

1Read the fault code and see whether it returns after a road test
2Check the battery and that its terminals are tight, since voltage disturbances can cause the fault
3Check that the accelerator pedal moves freely and that no mat or object is restricting it
4Ask a workshop to check the engine control module software; on the B4204S3 engine from 2009, a corrected version is available
5If the fault remains after the software check, the engine control module is the likely cause and a workshop should replace it

Symptoms you may notice2

Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lit
Poor response from the accelerator
