What does this fault code mean?
This code means the engine control module (ECM) has not received the configuration that belongs to the car. That happens when the module has not been programmed, when programming has failed, or when a module with the wrong software has been fitted. Engine torque may then be limited.
Possible causes
- Engine control module has not been programmed
- Software in the engine module does not match the car's configuration
- Programming of the engine control module has failed
- A module with the wrong software has been fitted to the car
What you can do
- 1Have a workshop check that the latest software for the engine control module is loaded in the car, and reload it if needed
- 2If the engine control module has been replaced, have a workshop check that it carries the right software for the car
- 3Clear the code only once the software is correct, then road test to see whether it returns
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
What the fault can affect1
- Engine torque may be limited
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
