Boxer reduced power after chip tuning

Hey, need some help! My 2021 Peugeot Boxer (electric engine) is throwing a fit. Reduced power, and the dashboard light is on. Scan tool shows a fault code. Mileage is at 84018 km. Anyone seen this before?

Sounds familiar! I had something similar with my Boxer. Was it after you got any work done on the car computer, like chip tuning?

Chip tuning... Yeah, a third-party provider did some work a while back. You think that's the culprit? What exactly happened with yours?

Yep, sounds like the same issue. The tuning probably messed with the engine management system. Like giving your car a brain freeze. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to get it checked, they'll need to run a full diagnostic and probably re-flash the ECU.

Thanks a bunch! Took your advice and went to the shop. Turns out the chip tuning was indeed the problem. They re-flashed it, and it's running smooth again. Cost me 180€, but worth it! Cheers for the help!
