DS5 Sporadic Errors

I'm having a weird issue with my 2017 Citroen DS5, diesel engine. It's got 175k km on the clock. I'm getting sporadic errors, like the driving mode acting up or error lights flashing randomly. Sometimes the audio/nav system just dies, or a control unit seems to freeze. I scanned it and there are errors stored, but nothing consistent. I'm suspecting a loose connection somewhere, maybe related to the BUS system cable. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

That sounds awfully familiar! I've got a DS5 too, and I had similar gremlins a while back. Random errors, systems shutting down... drove me nuts! Have you checked the usual suspects like battery connections or any recent work that might have disturbed some wiring?

Thanks for the reply! I've checked the battery and the main connections I could easily get to. I haven't had any work done recently, which makes it even more puzzling. Did yours throw up similar error codes or affect the same systems? What eventually fixed it?

The error codes were all over the place! It was like a Christmas tree. Honestly, I spent ages poking around and got nowhere. In the end, I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quickly, apparently it was a dodgy connection on one of the control modules. Best bet is to get it properly diagnosed. Good luck!

Appreciate the info! Sounds like a trip to the workshop is in order. I was hoping to avoid it, but your experience is convincing. Hopefully, it won't break the bank. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
