What does this fault code mean?
The steering wheel module (SWM) has registered that the switches for continuous and intermittent rear window wiping were active at the same time for too long. The fault therefore concerns the rear wiper controls, even though the code is linked to the wiper stalk. The fault is not marked as intermittent.
Possible causes
- The switches for continuous and intermittent rear window wiping have been active at the same time for too long
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it and road test to see whether it returns
- 2Check that the rear wiper switch does not stick or stay in one position
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool: read the rear wiper positions in live data and check that each position gives its own value when selected
- 4If the code does not return, no further action is needed
- 5If the code returns, have a workshop check the switches and the steering wheel module (SWM)
Symptoms you may notice1
- The rear wiper only runs at low speed
What the fault can affect1
- The rear wiper runs at the lowest speed when switched on
