If the message "Component protection active" appears on the central screen of the Volkswagen Golf, it means that a generic electronic problem has occurred that compromises the correct functioning of the infotainment system. To remove this warning, you will need to connect a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle, which is located under the steering column. This way, you can select the specific car model and proceed with the elimination of the error that triggers the message; finally, you can disconnect the scanner and turn off the instrument panel by turning the key.
