S40 cruise control failure

Hi, I've got a problem with my 2011 Volvo S40 with a gasoline engine. The cruise control suddenly stopped working. I get an error message and the cruise control doesn't engage. I scanned it, and there's an error stored. Any ideas?

Hey! I had a similar issue with my S40. Was driving me nuts! Have you checked the steering wheel controls? Sometimes those can get wonky and cause problems with the cruise control system. Just a thought!

Thanks for the tip! When you had this problem, was it constant, or did it come and go? Also, did you manage to fix it yourself, or did you have to take it to a shop?

Yeah, mine was pretty constant once it started. I tried fiddling with the buttons and resetting things, but no luck. Eventually, I took it to a workshop. They said something about a defective cable or plug connection. Honestly, car electronics baffle me! Best to get it looked at, I reckon.

Appreciate the insight! I'll take it to a shop then. My diagnostics pointed to a cable or plug issue too, so that confirms it. The repair cost should be around 95€. Thanks!
