What does this fault code mean?
The steering wheel module (SWM) has registered that the voltage is too low. The cause may be a fault inside the steering wheel module or oxidation in the connector to it.
Possible causes
- Fault inside the steering wheel module (SWM)
- Oxidation in the connector to the steering wheel module (SWM), giving contact resistance
What you can do
- 1Check the fuse that feeds the steering wheel module in the car's fuse box
- 2Check the connection to the steering wheel module for contact resistance, oxidation and damage; disconnect the connector, look at the contact surfaces and reconnect it firmly
- 3Clear the fault code and check whether it returns
- 4If the fault remains once the connector and fuse are in order, have a workshop check the steering wheel module, as it may be faulty
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
