Seat Inca SOS Error
Summary of the thread
A 2003 Seat Inca displayed an SOS error related to the emergency call system, with the error stored in memory and a warning light on. The suspected cause was a defective cable or plug connection. A suggestion was made to check the wiring harness behind the instrument cluster, but due to the complexity and safety implications, professional assistance was recommended. The workshop confirmed a faulty plug connection, cleaned it, and resolved the issue.

Thanks for the tip! Where exactly is the wiring harness located? And is it difficult to access? I'm familiar with some basic car maintenance, but I'm not an expert.

The wiring harness is behind the instrument cluster. Accessing it requires removing the cluster itself. If you're not comfortable with that, I would advise against tinkering with the automotive electronics yourself. Incorrect handling can cause even more issues. Given the error code points to a defective connection and the potential impact on car safety, it's best to get it checked by a workshop. They can diagnose the car safety system and ensure the SOS signal functions correctly.

The workshop confirmed a faulty plug connection. They cleaned it, and the error is resolved. 95€ well spent. Thanks for your help!

I had a similar issue with my Inca's telematics system. That SOS signal error kept popping up. Have you checked the wiring harness behind the instrument cluster? Sometimes a loose connection there can trigger false alarms in the emergency call system.
