The error specifically points to the solar sensor. I've visually checked the wiring harness but haven't done a continuity test yet. Did your issue also directly implicate the solar sensor?

Yep, mine was the solar sensor too. I tried fiddling with it, but honestly, in the end, I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it out pretty quick and saved me a lot of headaches. Though you may check with a multimeter before you go there.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate you confirming that it was indeed the solar sensor in your case as well. I will proceed by visiting a workshop to have the connection and sensor properly diagnosed. The repair amounted to 95€, I hope the cost will be similar for me.

Sounds familiar. I had something similar in my Galloper. Is the sensor itself throwing the error, or is it just a general 'sensor fault' message? Sometimes it's like chasing a ghost in the machine.
