Shimano STEPS / EP error W032: Wrong derailleur type for the system settings

Low severity Service soon

Can I ride home with this error?

Usually safe to ride. Safe to ride; walk assist or electronic shifting may not work.

What it means

On E8000, an electronic derailleur may have been fitted where the system expects a mechanical one, so walk assist may be weaker. On E6100/E7000 the installed derailleur differs from the configured one and gear shifting is not possible.

Likely causes

  • Derailleur changed without updating the system settings

Symptoms

  • Walk assist weaker (E8000)
  • Cannot shift gears (E6100/E7000)

How to fix it

  1. Contact your place of purchase or distributor to fit the correct derailleur or update the settings with E-TUBE PROJECT.
