Arkana electric steering column issue

Alright, I'm kinda frustrated. My 2022 Renault Arkana hybrid is acting up. The electric steering column adjustment is completely dead. I get an error message, and I can't adjust the wheel anymore. Checked the fuses, all good. Any ideas before I lose it?

Greetings. The symptoms you describe, namely the stored error in conjunction with the inoperability of the electric steering column adjustment, suggest a fault within the system. Given the stored error, have you considered the possibility of a defective cable or plug connection to the steering column adjustment motor or the associated control module? A discontinuity in the circuit would prevent the motor from receiving the necessary signals for operation.

Thanks for the quick reply! By 'associated control module' do you mean the car's main computer, or is there a separate one just for the steering column?

To clarify, the 'associated control module' refers to a dedicated electronic control unit (ECU) that manages the electric steering column adjustment functionality. While it communicates with the vehicle's central processing unit (CPU), it is a distinct component. It is advisable to seek a professional diagnosis. A scan of the error memory may reveal further diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), pinpointing the source of the malfunction with greater precision. I recommend visiting a qualified repair shop.

Took it to the shop. You were spot on – turned out to be a loose connection! They fixed the cable for 95€. Thanks a lot for your help!
