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.

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?
