The power steering control module (PSCM) has measured friction in the steering system that is too high, and a message fault has also occurred. This code is an information code and does not in itself mean that the control module is faulty.
Possible causes
- Damaged power steering control module (PSCM)
What you can do
- 1Clear the fault code and test drive to see whether it returns
- 2Check that the steering column and steering do not bind or get blocked
- 3Have a workshop read the control module's messages on the bus with diagnostic equipment
- 4Safety note: steering is safety-critical, so have a workshop decide whether the control module should be replaced
