Spin sporadic errors and control unit failure

I'm having some weird issues with my 2018 Chevrolet Spin diesel. It's got about 46,726 km on it. Lately, I've been getting sporadic errors in driving mode, and sometimes the error lamps light up for no reason. Plus, the audio/navigation systems are failing randomly. Sometimes, the whole control unit seems to shut down or becomes unresponsive. I checked the error memory using an OBD-II scanner and found some stored errors. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

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.

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?

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!
