What does this fault code mean?
One or more buttons on the right-hand steering wheel switch have been held down for too long, and the code is set. The steering wheel audio and phone buttons do not work, because a button has stuck in the activated position or the switch is faulty.
Possible causes
- One or several buttons on the right-hand switch (SWSR) have stuck in the activated position
- Faulty right-hand steering wheel switch (SWSR)
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact
- 2Look at the right-hand steering wheel buttons to see whether any is stuck in the pressed position
- 3Read and note the code, clear it and road test to see whether it returns
- 4With diagnostic equipment, follow the button status in live data and see whether any button remains pressed
- 5The steering wheel angle sensor is part of the car's safety systems, so have a workshop repair the fault promptly if it remains
