Usually safe to drive short distances, but the fault will not clear itself and can worsen or fail an emissions test.
Fuel Additive Control Module Requested MIL Illumination
This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.
The fuel additive control module — typical for diesel cars with a separate Eolys/Cerine additive tank that aids DPF regeneration — has requested the ECM to illuminate the MIL because of an emissions-relevant fault on its side. The original fault is in the additive module itself.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
