C1 Cruise Control Failure

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2008 Citroen C1 diesel. The cruise control has suddenly stopped working. I get an error message displayed, and the cruise control simply won't engage. I scanned for error codes, and there's something stored related to it. I've checked the basic fuses, but they all seem fine. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

The 2008 Citroen C1 diesel experienced a cruise control failure, displaying an error message and refusing to engage. Initial checks of fuses showed no issues, but a scan revealed error codes related to the problem. Suggestions included inspecting cable connections around the steering wheel and throttle body for loose or damaged wires. Ultimately, a broken wire in the steering wheel column was identified and repaired by a garage, resolving the issue.

Hey, I had a similar issue with my C1! It was a real pain. If I remember correctly, the same symptoms. Did you check the cable connections around the steering wheel and also the throttle body? That area is pretty sensitive.

Thanks for the quick response! I haven't specifically checked the cable connections around the steering wheel or the throttle body yet, just fuses and a general scan. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for – loose connections, frayed wires, or anything else?

Yeah, exactly that. Loose or corroded plugs are common. It could also be a damaged wire. Honestly, in my case, I tried cleaning everything up myself, but it was a bit fiddly. Ended up taking it to a workshop who said it was a defective cable or plug connection of the component. I'd recommend checking, but if you're not comfortable, a quick visit to a mechanic might save you some headaches.

Thanks so much for the advice! I took it to a local garage and they found a broken wire in the steering wheel column, like you suggested. They charged me 95€ to fix it. Cruise control is working again now. Really appreciate the help!
