Usually safe to drive short distances, but the fault will not clear itself and can worsen or fail an emissions test.
Electrical System Voltage Stabilizer Control Module Performance
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 voltage stabiliser module (DC/DC converter for stop-start engine cranking events) does not maintain the regulated 12 V output during high transient loads. Sensitive electronics may reset during cranking.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
- Safe to drive
- Usually safe to drive short distances, but the fault will not clear itself and can worsen or fail an emissions test.
- Urgency

| # | Cause | How often | Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aged smoothing capacitors lose capacitance | Very common | — |
| 2 | Battery condition causes input voltage to drop too far | Common | — |
| 3 | Internal fault in the converter switching stage | Common | — |
Ordering reflects how often each cause is responsible in general, not a probability for your vehicle. Confirm by testing.
