This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with a part of the car that helps it move through the air better. It's like the car's wings aren't working right.
The code indicates an issue with the control module responsible for managing active aerodynamic features, such as spoilers or air vents, which adjust to improve the vehicle's aerodynamics.
The Active Aerodynamic Feature Control Module B is responsible for controlling components that adjust the vehicle's aerodynamics dynamically. This could include adjustable spoilers or vents that help reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. A fault in this module can lead to improper functioning of these aerodynamic features.
• Warning light on dashboard
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Unusual noise from aerodynamic components
• Faulty control module
• Wiring issues
• Software glitches
Aerodynamics: The study of how air interacts with moving objects.
Control Module: A computer in the car that controls specific functions.
• Perform a visual inspection of wiring and connectors.
• Use a diagnostic scanner to read fault codes.
• Test the functionality of the aerodynamic components.
• Replace or repair faulty wiring.
• Reprogram or replace the control module.
• Ensure all aerodynamic components are functioning properly.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Screwdriver set
$200 - $600
Moderate
• Vehicle 1
• Vehicle 2
• Vehicle 3
• Regular maintenance checks
• Keep software updated
• Inspect aerodynamic components periodically
Control Module Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional.
• Avoid high-speed driving until the issue is resolved.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on control modules.
This code has been reported in vehicles with active aerodynamic features, often due to wiring or software issues.
Moderate – It should be addressed to ensure optimal vehicle performance and efficiency.
Ignoring this issue could lead to reduced vehicle performance and potential safety risks.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Aerodynamic features active
Typically located near the vehicle's rear or integrated within the main control module area.
Q: What are active aerodynamic features?
A: These are parts of the car that change shape or position to help the car move through the air better.
Q: Can I drive with this code?
A: It's best to have it checked soon, as it can affect fuel efficiency and performance.
