Matiz Emergency Call System Error

My 2008 Chevrolet Matiz (gasoline engine, 247256 kilometers) emergency call system is showing an error. I'm seeing an error stored in the memory, an error message on the speedometer, and a warning light. I suspect a defective cable or plug. Anyone seen this before? Trying to avoid a 95€ repair bill.

Summary of the thread

The 2008 Chevrolet Matiz is experiencing an error with the emergency call system, indicated by a stored error message, a warning light, and a speedometer alert. The suspected cause is a defective cable or plug, possibly related to a faulty connection in the telematics control module.

I can relate. I have a Matiz as well. I experienced something similar with my emergency call system a while back. If I recall correctly, the issue stemmed from a faulty connection in the telematics control module. Have you checked the diagnostic codes to pinpoint the exact source of the error?

Thanks! Could you elaborate on where I might find this 'telematics control module'? And were there specific diagnostic codes I should look for? Thinking of checking the fuse box as well, or is that a lost cause?

Without the specific diagnostic codes, it’s challenging to provide an exact solution, but I would advise against touching any fuses. If my memory serves me right, the module is located somewhere behind the dashboard, but accessing it can be a bit tricky. Honestly, given the complexity, it might be best to consult with a qualified workshop. They have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and repair the problem accurately. It could save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.

Thanks for your assistance and advice! I shall heed your recommendation and entrust my Matiz to a professional. It appears the 95€ repair bill is looming, but perhaps it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. It ended up being a defective cable, exactly as the diagnostic said.
