XRV Electric Steering Column Fault

I'm having trouble with the electric steering column adjustment on my 2021 Honda XRV, gasoline engine. The error memory shows a fault, and the steering column can't be adjusted electrically. I've checked the fuses I know about. Anything obvious I'm missing? It feels like I'm wrestling an alligator!

Summary of the thread

The electric steering column adjustment on a 2021 Honda XRV was malfunctioning, with an error memory indicating a fault. The issue was traced to a defective cable or plug connection near the steering column. After checking the fuses and consulting for advice, the problem was resolved at a workshop for a fee.

That sucks! I've not had that exact problem, but electric steering can be a real pain. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the steering column motor? A dodgy connection could cause those symptoms. Just a thought!

Where exactly are these connections located? I'm not sure where to look. And, if I find them, what am I looking for?

I'm no mechanic, but usually they are right near the steering column itself, under the dash. Look for any loose or corroded plugs. Honestly, though, with electric steering, messing with it too much can be risky. If you're not confident, maybe best to take it to a workshop!

You were bang on with the cable suggestion. I took it to the workshop, and it was indeed a defective cable/plug connection, just as you suggested. Cost me 95€ to get sorted. Much appreciated!
