What does this fault code mean?
The parking assistance module has not received information about the car's current configuration from the central electronic module (CEM), so the configuration is not complete. The fault points to contact resistance, oxidation, a break or a loose contact in the connections to the CAN network, and the central electronic module should be traced first.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance, oxidation, a break or a loose contact in the connections to the CAN network
- The fault lies in the sending control module, the central electronic module (CEM)
What you can do

- 2If you have a diagnostic tool, check first whether codes are stored in the central electronic module (CEM)
- 3Check that the connections to the CAN network, at the parking assistance module and at the central electronic module, are firmly seated and free from oxidation
- 4Have a workshop check the CAN wires between the parking assistance module and the central electronic module for breaks
- 5Have a workshop trace the central electronic module and replace it only if it has an internal fault
