XMC 522848.16 (XMC )

Code: 522848.16

Shortcode:

Description:

This error code indicates that the current in the supply line of the steering control valve (steer left) is too high, suggesting a short to ground. Such high current can impair the valve’s ability to function properly and affect steering performance.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software will limit or disable certain functions to prevent potential malfunctions related to the high current.

Recommendations:

Inspect Electrical Connections:

  • Check the electrical connections to the steering control valve for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.

Measure Current Levels:

  • Use diagnostic tools to measure the current in the supply line of the steering control valve. Ensure it is within the specified range.

Check for Shorts to Ground:

  • Inspect the wiring for any signs of a short to ground. This includes checking for any exposed wires that may be touching grounded metal surfaces.

Replace Faulty Components:

  • If a specific component, such as the valve or its wiring, is identified as faulty, replace it with a new, manufacturer-approved part.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the issue persists, consult technical support for further assistance.

Note:

Maintaining the electrical integrity of the steering control valve and its connections is crucial for reliable vehicle operation. Regular inspection and maintenance can prevent high current-related issues from affecting system performance.
