B200047 fault code

[Carl h89]

Hi every one

I was looking for a bit of advice or if any of you have had the same issue. 

My car wouldn't start up one morning so got it over to a garage. They said the starter had failed so they organised fitting a new one. On the diagnostic report it had a fault code of B200047. They changed the starter and reported back to me the steering has become heavy this was due to the fault code B200047. I hadn't noticed anything wrong with the steering prior to the no start. 

They have advised a pas module replacement and the steering rack. The reason for the rack replacement is because they said the module isnt sold separately. As you can imagine the cost has risen significantly. 

I've read that sometimes the car just requires a software update. And that alternative option to having a full refit is to remove the module and send it of for repair. Ive seen mixed posts where its been successful. 

Has anyone had this code before ?. 

I also have the diagnostic report of the car. 

Thanks in advance. 

Carl.

Welcome Carl,

When you say the car wouldn’t start, do you mean the car would crank over (energetically?) but would not start, or it just wouldn’t crank over?

Hi magnet. 

Thanks for you're reply.

Intially the car would crank but not turn over. The cranking became a slower more of a lethargic crank.

They have fitted a new starter motor now and the car does start and turn over. 

Its just the module issue i have to try and solve. 

I do have the diagnostic report with the code and description.
