When the message "Component protection active" appears on the central screen of the Volkswagen Amarok, it means that a generic electronic problem has occurred that compromises the proper functioning of the infotainment system. To remove this message, you will need to connect a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle, which is located under the steering column.

This will allow you to select the model of the car in question and proceed with the removal of the error that triggers the activation of the message; finally, you can disconnect the scanner and turn off the ignition.
