Spin sporadic errors and control unit failure
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Chevrolet Spin diesel is experiencing sporadic errors in driving mode, random activation of error lamps, and failures in the audio/navigation systems, with the control unit occasionally becoming unresponsive. An OBD-II scanner revealed stored errors, but the cause remains unclear. A similar issue was resolved by fixing a defective cable connection to the BUS system on the control unit, a known problem in some models, suggesting a workshop visit for diagnosis and repair.

Thanks for the quick reply! It does seem pretty random. There's no specific bump in the road, or type of weather, or anything I can pinpoint that causes it. Did you ever figure out what was causing yours?

Yeah, after pulling my hair out for a week, I took it to a workshop. They said it was a defective cable connection to the BUS system on the control unit. Apparently, it's a known issue on some models. They fixed the connection, and it cost me around 155€. I would suggest to go to a workshop to get it checked, since it is hard to diagnose yourself.

Okay, that's super helpful! I'll definitely take it to a workshop and mention the cable connection issue. Hopefully, that's all it is. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey there! I also drive a Spin, and your issues sound strangely familiar. I had almost the exact same symptoms a while back - sporadic errors, audio/nav system acting up, the works. Did you notice if anything specific triggers it, or does it seem completely random?
