The fault is intermittent: the control module has on an earlier occasion received an incorrect signal because M3+ and M3- were activated at the same time. The seat then does not work at all.
Possible causes
- Incorrect handling of the control panel
- Defective control panel
- Defective power seat module (PSM)
What you can do
- 1Check that you have not pressed M3+ and M3- at the same time, and that neither button is stuck.
- 2Check that the control panel is firmly seated and free from corrosion, and look for wiring that may have chafed.
- 3Clear the fault code and see whether it comes back when the controls are used one at a time.
- 4If the fault remains, have a workshop check the control panel and the power seat module (PSM).
