Seat Altea Emergency Call System Problem

I'm having a peculiar issue with my 2012 Seat Altea diesel. The emergency call system is malfunctioning, showing an error in the memory, a message on the speedometer, and a warning light. I suspect a defective cable or plug. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution before I visit a workshop?

I had a similar issue with my Altea. The emergency call system malfunctioned, displaying an error message. Have you checked the diagnostic codes? What codes are being reported?

Thanks for the quick response. I've checked the error memory and the diagnostic code stored is 'B106429 - Emergency call system control module - Signal implausible'. Does that match what you experienced?

Yes, B106429 sounds familiar. It's likely a loose connection or faulty wiring to the emergency call module. I suggest getting it checked at a workshop; they can diagnose the wiring and possibly reset the system. It might save you a lot of time and prevent further issues.

I took your advice and brought my Altea to the workshop today. Turns out the connection to the emergency call control module was indeed faulty, just as suspected. They re-seated the connector and cleared the diagnostic codes. The error message and warning light are now gone. Total cost was 95€.
