Thanks for the quick response! How would I go about calibrating the solar sensor? Is that something I can do myself, or does it require special equipment?

Given the symptoms and potential for electrical issues, I recommend consulting with a qualified technician. It would be best to go to the workshop, in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a local garage and they confirmed it was a loose connection as suspected. They fixed it for 95€. All good now!

Sorry to hear about the heating problems. Is it possible that the sensor requires calibration? This might address the error being stored.
