What does this fault code mean?
The left front seat module (PSL) registers that the easy-entry control is active in both directions at once, and the fault code is set then. Seat functions may get worse.
Possible causes
- The easy-entry control has stuck so that two positions are active at once
What you can do
- 1Press in and release the easy-entry control and check that it is not stuck in any position
- 2Check whether the control is sticking because of dirt, or whether something is stopping it from springing back
- 3If the fault code does not return after this check, clear it; no further action is needed
- 4If you have a diagnostic tool: check in live data that the forward and backward states are never active together
- 5If the control does not spring back and the cause is not dirt or an object, have a workshop replace the control panel
Symptoms you may notice2
- The function button does not work
- Seat functions work worse than normal
