Fault-tracing information
The keyless vehicle module (KVM) has previously registered a fault but the fault no longer exists. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is probably caused by an intermittent fault or the handle has been held in for an unusually long time. If the fault persists, fault-tracing according to this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) must be carried out despite no fault symptoms being found. The fault is evaluated depending on how it occurs.
