What does this fault code mean?
The signal from the redundancy sensor in neutral position sensor B is too high. This points to a signal fault with a short to voltage. The fault is checked with the ignition on and then with the engine running.
Possible causes
- Signal wire shorted to voltage
- Short to voltage in the connector
- Damaged neutral position sensor
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact. The locations are shown in the instruction manual or on the fuse list
- 2Use a multimeter to check that the signal wire to sensor B has no contact with the battery positive and has no break
- 3Check that the connector at the sensor is firmly seated and free from oxidation
- 4Try automatic stop-start with the buttons and controls to see whether the function is affected
- 5If the fault remains after these checks, have a workshop investigate neutral position sensor B
Symptoms you may notice3
- Automatic engine stop-start does not work while driving
- Automatic engine stop-start does not work at idle
- Starting and auto-start do not work
What the fault can affect1
- The automatic engine stop-start function is switched off
