U3001: Steuergerät — Funktion beim Abschalten fehlerhaft
Was zu tun ist
If the battery has been disconnected, changed, jump-started or gone flat recently, this is very likely just a record of that — clear it and see whether it comes back. A module that had power pulled while it was still finishing its shutdown reports exactly this, and nothing is broken.
Modules stay awake for several minutes after you lock the car. That is why disconnecting a battery straight after switching off can cause it.
If it keeps returning with no battery work involved, there is one symptom that matters: does the battery go flat when the car stands for a few days? If so, something is refusing to go to sleep, and that is worth finding — it is the version of this fault that costs you a battery.
Was dieser Code bedeutet
A control module did not shut down properly the last time the car was switched off.
This range is different from every other network family, and the difference decides how it should be diagnosed.
U01xx and U02xx say a module went silent. U04xx and U05xx say a module is talking nonsense about something it watches. This range says a module is reporting a problem with its own foundations — its supply, its earth, or the ignition state that tells it whether the car is even meant to be awake.
Which makes these codes upstream of almost everything else. A module with a marginal earth does not fail cleanly; it reports implausible values about every sensor it reads, sets codes in unrelated systems, and drops off the bus intermittently. A scan tool showing thirty codes across five systems very often has one of these underneath it.
So read this family first and fix it first. Clearing a page of downstream codes before the supply fault is repaired produces a page of downstream codes again by the end of the week.
And start with the battery, genuinely. Not as a formality — a twelve-volt battery weak enough to sag during cranking, or a terminal with corrosion under a clamp that looks tight, reproduces this entire family exactly. It is the cheapest thing to eliminate and by some distance the most common cause.
Modules do not simply lose power when a car is switched off — they are asked to finish first, and this code says one did not.
A shutdown sequence exists because modules have work to do at the end of a drive: writing learned values to memory, storing adaptations, recording mileage and fault history, and agreeing with the rest of the network that everyone may now sleep. Cutting power mid-sequence risks losing or corrupting what was being written.
Which gives the most common cause, and it is usually a person rather than a fault: a battery disconnected while the car was still awake. Modules stay alive for minutes after the doors are locked, and a battery pulled during that window produces exactly this. So does a jump start, a flat battery, or a battery changed without following the vehicle's procedure.
The other cause is a module that will not let go — one keeping the network awake so the shutdown never completes. That version has a symptom attached: the battery goes flat when the car stands, and it is the one worth pursuing.
A single occurrence after known battery work is not a fault. Clear it and see whether it returns.

Was einen Bericht lesenswert macht:
- Das Fahrzeug — Marke, Modell, Baujahr und Motor. Derselbe Fehler verhält sich auf jedem anders.
- Was Sie gemessen haben, nicht nur, was Sie getauscht haben.
- Was es tatsächlich behoben hat — oder dass nichts es behoben hat, was ebenso nützlich ist.
