What does this fault code mean?
The control module drives the power steering electric motor through its own power stage, and the fault code is set when an internal fault has occurred in the control module. The power steering may then give too little assistance.
Possible causes
- Incorrect software in the control module
- Damaged power steering control module (PSCM)
- Poor contact, contact resistance or oxidation in connections
What you can do
- 1Read and note the fault code, then clear it
- 2Check that the connections to the control module are secure and free from corrosion
- 3Road test the car and check whether the fault code comes back
- 4If it returns, have a workshop load the control module with the correct software, or replace it if that does not help
- 5Steering is a safety system: avoid long drives with weak power assistance and have a workshop check the car
Symptoms you may notice2
