SEAT Electrical Diagnostics
SEAT uses the VW Group MQB electronics — BCM, gateway, KESSY, MIB infotainment and ODIS diagnostics — with the same module families and fault patterns as Volkswagen. Common electrical faults mirror the wider Group: SOS/eCall warnings, keyless and BCM body faults, and infotainment issues.
