Easy one-page printout for the garage or repair shop
This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's special moving parts that help it go faster or use less fuel don't know where they are supposed to be. It's like a toy robot that forgot how to move its arms.
The position sensor for the active aerodynamic feature B has not been calibrated or learned its correct position.
This code indicates that the position sensor for the active aerodynamic feature B actuator has not completed its learning process. This could be due to a failure in the calibration procedure or a fault in the sensor or actuator itself.
• Warning light on the dashboard
• Reduced aerodynamic performance
• Increased fuel consumption
• Faulty position sensor
• Calibration procedure not completed
• Wiring issues or connector problems
Actuator: A device that moves or controls a mechanism or system.
Calibration: The process of adjusting the precision of a device.
• Check for any stored codes related to the active aerodynamic system.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for the actuator and sensor.
• Perform the calibration procedure for the position sensor.
• Replace the faulty position sensor.
• Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
• Recalibrate the sensor using the vehicle's diagnostic tool.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Vehicle-specific diagnostic tool

Moderate
• Vehicle 1
• Vehicle 2
• Vehicle 3
• Regularly check and maintain the aerodynamic system.
• Ensure calibration procedures are completed after repairs.
• Inspect wiring and connectors periodically.
Sensor Issue
• Consult with a professional mechanic if unsure.
• Avoid high-speed driving until the issue is resolved.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on the aerodynamic system.
This code has been observed in vehicles with advanced aerodynamic systems that require precise calibration.
Moderate – While not immediately critical, it should be addressed to maintain vehicle performance.
Ignoring this code may lead to decreased vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.
• Vehicle stationary
• Diagnostic tool connected
The position sensor is typically located near the actuator of the active aerodynamic feature, often in the front or rear of the vehicle.
Q: Can I drive with this code?
A: Yes, but it is recommended to fix it soon to maintain optimal performance.
Q: How do I reset the sensor?
A: Use a diagnostic tool to perform the calibration procedure.
Pro · Four-system diagnostics
A handheld scanner aimed at engine, transmission, ABS, and airbag diagnostic work.
Body and airbag faults often need a scanner that can access more than generic powertrain codes.
