    Hello, I had an incompetent mechanic replace my AC converter, removing all the dash and when putting it back together, I now have this error code locking the parking brake and not allowing the car to start. Does anyone have any idea on what's the issue. I need to have someone go back into the dash and make sure all was put together correctly but need to have an idea of what this error code likely means. Thank you!

    can be something as simple as a bad 12 volt battery, or loose hatch locking mechanism.

    Put the connector behind the P button back.

    What was the resolution to this? Any update? I know it’s an older thread but I’m curious mine is doing the same

    welcome!
    did an incompetent mechanic replace your a/c converter?

    He may have forgotten to connect the lock mechanism connector on it while assembling.
