Skoda Octavia Hybrid Error Message

I need some help. I've got a 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid with 217452 km on the clock. Recently, the malfunction indicator lit up, and I'm getting an error message on both the infotainment system and the speedometer. My diagnostic scanner says it's likely a coding issue. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Check engine is on

That sounds frustrating. I had a similar issue with my Peugeot a while back. The check engine light kept coming on, and the diagnostic scanner showed some weird fault code. Could be a similar issue. Does the engine light come on immediately or after some time?

Interesting, what was the cause in your case? The engine light is on constantly, and the error message pops up every time I start the car. I've tried a basic reset codes procedure, but it comes back immediately. Could the coding really be the problem?

In my case, after a lot of head-scratching, it turned out to be incorrect coding after a software installation. If resetting the codes doesn't work, and the engine light comes back immediately, I would recommend taking it to a workshop. They'll be able to check the coding properly.

You were right, it was a coding issue. The workshop said something went wrong with a software installation and the car's computer got confused. They recoded it, and the malfunction indicator is gone, no more engine light. Cost me 360€ but it's sorted now. Thanks for your help.
