Yes, the error is always related to the bumper antenna. So, you're saying a bad connection there could actually stop the engine from starting without the key?

Correct. In my case, it was the bumper antenna connection. If it's indeed the antenna, I suggest visiting a workshop. The fault can be localized and resolved relatively quickly there.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out, it was the bumper antenna connection. The workshop confirmed it. They cleaned the connection, and everything works perfectly again. The bill was 95€ Appreciate the help!

I had something similar happen with my Edge. It sounds like a cable or plug connection of the component is defective. Does the error code specifically point to the bumper antenna, and is it consistent?
