Skoda Fabia Cruise Control Problem

The cruise control issue on your Skoda Fabia sounds frustrating. Given the error memory stores an issue, it's not likely a simple fix. Before assuming the worst, have you checked the fuse box? A blown fuse is an easy thing to overlook and could disable the cruise control. Also, consider the speed sensor; a faulty reading there can certainly cause the cruise control to disengage or not activate at all. Though, it's admittedly less likely to trigger a generic 'cable/plug' error.

Thanks for the quick response! I did check the fuse box, and all fuses seem to be intact. Regarding the speed sensor, is there a way to test it without specialized equipment? Is it possible that a faulty throttle position sensor could also be the culprit?

Given that you've checked the fuses and the error points to a cable or plug issue, I wouldn't recommend further testing without proper tools. Speed sensors can be tricky, and a throttle position sensor issue would usually present with other symptoms. It does sound like the error memory entry is a good indication of the actual problem. Given your efforts, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They will have the tools to properly diagnose the wiring and pinpoint the fault.

Took the Fabia to the workshop. They found a defective cable/plug connection, as indicated by the error memory. 95€ later, the cruise control is working again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
