The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated and the following faults are stored in the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR03) Module * 805291 - Metering quantity deviation, metered quantity according to delivery volumes is too high. * 8052E3 - Metering quantity deviation, metered quantity too high, sum error. * 8052E5 - Metering interruption to diagnose a metering quantity deviation (metered quantity too high). A software calibration error in the SCR03 module.
B6619172018-12-10. Service bulletin. LANE DEPARTURE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ?SERVICE ACTION: CHECK AND REPLACE LANE CHANGE WARNING SENSOR. The Lane Change Warning sensor may have been produced with faulty components. This may lead to a failure of the Lane Change Warning system (SWW). Lane Change Warning sensor hardware defect.
B7204172018-11-26. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SEAT BELTS. FALSE WARNINGS THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED. Acoustic and visual warnings indicate that the front passenger seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened, when the seat is actually unoccupied. If the situation is currently present, sit in the seat and move the seat to a different position then the POL (Passenger Occupancy Light) light will function correctly. In some cases the Air bag Warning Light was illuminated. Advanced Crash Safety Module (ACSM) fault "930A1C - Front passenger seat occupancy detection transmitting fault (moisture)" is stored. 1. Electronics (for example smart phones or laptops) are connected to the USB charging port or cigarette lighter and placed on the seat. 2. The seat was wet (e.g. very high humidity, spilled liquids or rain). 3. Faulty plug connection to Evaluation Electronics CIS (Capacitive Interior Sensing). 4. Excessive spacing between seat mat sensor signal wires and their grounding shield sleeve. * Drying the seat mat due to moisture. * If there is no moisture, secure loose cables and install 2 cable ties * If the 2 cables ties are already installed properly, replace the seat mat * Statement added to SI - do not replace the CIS electronics or the ACSM module for this siutation.
