What to do in case of problems with the Smart control unit?
Years 2014-2022

Answer

When we find ourselves in front of a car that turns on but does not respect the commands, such as turning on lights, electric windows or central locking, the problem will be attributable to the control unit. In fact, it is the latter that allows us to carry out all these small, simple actions. The first thing to do is to disassemble the control unit and check the fuses. If the fuses do not generate errors, it will be necessary to check that the tracks joining the boards are not broken.
