C1 Incorrect Vehicle Coding

My 2017 Citroen C1 gasoline with 208074 km is showing error messages in the infotainment system and speedometer. A scan tool shows a fault code, likely incorrect vehicle coding. Has anyone else had this?

A 2017 Citroen C1 was experiencing error messages in the infotainment system and speedometer, with a scan tool indicating a fault code related to incorrect vehicle coding. The issue was identified as a coding problem, and the suggested solution was to have a professional diagnostic scanner reset the codes. The vehicle was taken to a workshop where the control module was recoded, successfully clearing the error messages.

Sounds familiar. I've got a C1 too, and had similar warnings pop up a while back. Did the malfunction indicator light come on as well?

No, the malfunction indicator light did not illuminate. Could you elaborate on the specifics of the issue you experienced with your C1, and how it was resolved?

Okay, mine was just like yours. I didn't see the light either. I'd say you're probably looking at a coding issue. To save time, you might want to bring it to a workshop to have a professional diagnostic scanner connected to the control module and reset the codes. Hope that helps!

I appreciate your advice. I took the vehicle to a local workshop, and, as you suggested, the issue was indeed related to incorrect vehicle coding. The control module was recoded, and the error messages have been cleared. The repair cost came to 360€. Thank you again for your help!
