Steering Wheel with Exclamation Mark and more....... PLEASE HELP

[Chris R]

Just had a daunting trip to Sainsburys in Leamington Spa, went to get some shopping (as you do) and came back to the car. Car would not turn over!! All ignition lights came on as normal, except for the fuel gauge not starting up, and the steering wheel with the exclamation mark and abs light flickering on and off (as shown in the picture attached), but then power got cut when i turned the key further to start the engine. I called the RAC out and the guy was amazing, done a dianostics check and came with NINE (9) fault codes. And here goes

U0009, P0480, P0481, P1613, U0121, U0140, P0501, P0564, P2638.

Can anyone help me with this pleeeeease

[Chris R]

[Даниил]

Column Integrated Module


Basically its the hub which all the low,mid and high speed canbus networks go to,along with your immobiliser and ecus.its right on the steering column.car wont work without it.

CIM, Collum Interface Module. Was thinking the same Dan, its the module behind the steering wheel. Lots of stuff goes through it, immobiliser being one of them. Either that or the ECU is goosed. Sorry only a guess.

Control interface Modual. That consists of the ignition barrel, immobiliser, wiper/indicator stalks, airbag and steering wheel wiring and the steering column position sensor. They have an ident on them, 2 letters. If you get the casing off around the steering column you can check which version it is.
