Workshop findings:
• In some cases the rear spoiler is not operative either automatically or manually. In some cases the rear
spoiler system is fully operative.

006B):
• DTC B18AC13 (Motor for rear spoiler drive 1, Open circuit).
• DTC B16F8F1 (Rear spoiler drive 1, Blocking when extending).
Technical Background
Due to insufficient pressure of the carbon brushes to the motor commutator in the spoiler drive motor a loss
of contact may occur and cause intermittent or permanent loss of spoiler operation.
Figure 2 shows the spoiler drive motor area of
brush to commutator contact.
