What does this fault code mean?
The control module receives information from the central electronic module (CEM) over CAN. The fault is stored when the CEM itself reports a lower quality level for that information than expected, and this lasts for a longer period. It is an information code that does not need repair, and it does not indicate a fault in the module where it is stored.
Possible causes
- Fault in the central electronic module (CEM) that sends the information at lower quality
What you can do
- 1Read and note the fault code; it normally does not need repair
- 2If the steering feels abnormal, read the fault codes in all control modules and have a workshop check the central electronic module (CEM), since the information is sent from there
- 3Check that the connectors in the wiring harness to the central electronic module are secure and free from corrosion
- 4Steering is a safety system: avoid long drives with abnormal steering and have a workshop check the car
Symptoms you may notice4
- Steering feels abnormally light at high speed
- Steering feels abnormally sluggish at low speed
- Other steering or handling problems can be felt
- Steering requires extra or uneven effort
What the fault can affect1
- The control module uses a predefined value instead of the real information
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
