Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored if the central electronic module (CEM) registers that communication with the steering wheel module (SWM) is not operating.

Note! In the event of CEM-1A5X diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the central electronic module (CEM) must not be replaced as the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a communication fault in the Control area network!

Possible source
- No power supply to the steering wheel module (SWM)
- Open-circuit in the ground lead to the steering wheel module (SWM)
- Contact resistance in the terminals
- Open-circuit in the wiring for the CAN low speed network to the steering wheel module (SWM)
- The steering wheel module (SWM) is not intended for this car for example a used control module with different software/hardware).

Hint: If several diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the central electronic module (CEM) for communication faults with other control modules in the low speed network, this indicates a common fault in the Control area network, see the wiring diagram.
