504
Speed signal manipulation detected
The system has detected an implausible or manipulated speed signal, which Bosch interprets as possible tuning. It can also be triggered by a wrongly positioned or non-original spoke magnet. While the error is active, drive assistance is deliberately reduced. Repeated tuning detections can require a dealer visit to fully unlock the system again.
