What does this fault code mean?
The control module has detected that the power steering hydraulic pump motor does not start, and the fault code is set when this happens.
Possible causes
- Too low battery voltage
- Incorrect voltage supply
- Mechanical or hydraulic fault in the steering system, for example a blocked hose, a blocked pipe or a fault in the steering gear
- Damaged power steering control module (PSCM)
What you can do
- 1Check the battery charge and voltage, since too low voltage can cause this fault
- 2Check that the fuses are intact and that the earth points are clean and securely connected
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool: activate the pump motor with the tool and listen for it to start
- 4Check mechanically that the steering does not bind and that hoses and pipes are not blocked
- 5If the fault returns and no fault is found, have a workshop check the control module, which may need replacing
- 6Steering is a safety system: have a workshop check the car if the steering feels abnormal
Symptoms you may notice2
- Steering requires extra or uneven effort
- Yellow warning symbol and message in the display
