What does this fault code mean?
The steering wheel module (SWM) counts it as an invalid state when several switches in the RTI multi-button in the steering wheel are active together. The steering wheel RTI controls stop working then. The fault concerns a combination of positions, not a single button.
Possible causes
- Two or more switches on the RTI multi-button are active at the same time
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it and road test to see whether it returns
- 2Check that no button on the RTI multi-button has stuck in the pressed position
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool: read the RTI buttons in live data and check that each button gives its own signal when pressed
- 4If the code returns, have a workshop check the RTI multi-button and the steering wheel module (SWM)
Symptoms you may notice1
- The steering wheel RTI controls stop working
