The wording "Component protection active" that appears on the display of the Volkswagen Golf can be addressed by connecting a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle: this port is located on the dashboard immediately below the steering column.

Once the scanner is connected, it will be possible to remove the error that is causing the warning light to appear on the display in the center of the dashboard.

Once the error is removed, the scanner can be disconnected and the ignition can be turned off by removing the key.
