Kangoo ZE Electrical Malfunction

My 2016 Renault Kangoo ZE (electric engine) has a general electrical malfunction, an error stored in memory, and the navigation is inoperative. Onboard diagnostics suggest implausible control unit programming.

Hey, I had something similar with my Kangoo! Though it's not the same year, the symptoms sound awfully familiar. Did you check the ECU? It could be a software bug causing weirdness. Is the van driving okay, apart from the nav being dead?

Could you elaborate on the problem you experienced with your Kangoo and how it was resolved? Was a software reset required, or was a more extensive intervention necessary?

Yeah, mine was throwing up all sorts of error codes, too. The driving was choppy, and the dashboard lit up! Eventually, I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed it was a software glitch. They had to re-flash the ECU. Best to get it checked professionally; messing with the ECU yourself can brick it.

I appreciate the advice. Based on your experience, I will schedule an appointment with a qualified technician to address the potential ECU programming fault. The estimated repair cost is 240€.
