Skoda Kodiaq Electric Steering Column Problem

Electric steering failures can be tricky. Has the car had any recent work, particularly around the steering column? Any unusual noises before the error?

No recent work was done. There were no unusual noises prior to the steering issue. Is there anything I can check myself before taking it to the workshop?

Given the error and lack of prior warning signs, it's most likely a connection issue as you suspect. Without diagnostic tools, it's hard to pinpoint. I recommend taking it to a workshop to avoid further complications.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I followed your advice and visited the workshop. Turns out it was a defective plug connection as predicted. Repair cost 95€.
