ECU Fault Code Persists After T-Roc Control Unit Fix

Having experienced a similar issue with my 2019 VW Tiguan, I can relate to this concern. The active memory lock in the control unit is often triggered when there is an undervoltage condition during automotive diagnostics or repair work. When this happened to my vehicle, the computer system kept showing persistent fault codes even though all systems were functioning normally. The root cause was traced to a temporary voltage drop during the previous service when they were updating the ECU firmware. The solution required a specific reset procedure using professional diagnostic equipment to clear the memory lock. This is not a serious issue but requires proper handling by a qualified technician with access to the correct automotive diagnostics tools. In my case, the mechanic needed to: 1. Connect the vehicle to a stable power supply 2. Perform a complete scan of all control units 3. Clear the active memory lock 4. Reset the adapted values 5. Verify all systems were communicating properly The persistent fault codes should clear once the memory lock is properly reset. This is a safety feature built into the control unit to prevent data corruption during service procedures.

Thanks for sharing this experience. Dealing with something similar in my T-Roc right now. The computer system kept showing fault codes that would not clear, and the ECU fault messages were quite concerning at first. The active memory situation sounds exactly like what my mechanic described. Did you remember roughly how much the fix cost you? Also wondering if youve had any control unit issues since the reset procedure was done? My local shop quoted me for the diagnostic work but Id like to compare prices before committing.

Thanks for asking about the costs. The memory lock active issue was completely resolved during my shop visit last month. They charged 240€ for diagnosing and fixing the undervoltage problem that had triggered the control unit warnings. Since having the automotive diagnostics and reset procedure done, my vehicle has been running perfectly with no recurring ECU fault messages. The control unit is now functioning as it should, and all previous error codes have stayed cleared. The money spent was worth it for the peace of mind, especially considering how these electronic systems are critical for modern vehicles. The price seems reasonable compared to what others have reported for similar diagnostic work. The thorough reset procedure they performed ensured the active memory issue was properly resolved, preventing any potential long-term complications with the vehicle electronics.

Perfect timing for an update on my repair experience. Just got back from the auto repair shop where they tackled my control unit issues. The whole process took about 2 hours. They connected their automotive diagnostics equipment and confirmed it was indeed a memory lock situation, exactly as described. The final bill came to 280€, slightly higher than expected but the computer system is now working perfectly. All fault codes have cleared and havent returned. The mechanic did a thorough job explaining how the control unit needed a proper reset procedure to resolve the memory lock. Really glad I got this sorted quickly instead of waiting. The car electronics are all functioning normally now, and the ECU isnt showing any more warning messages. Much better paying for a proper fix than worrying about potential issues down the road. Definitely keeping this shop in mind for future repairs, they clearly knew what they were doing with modern vehicle diagnostics.
